The patches have to be applied in a different directory, namely in
/usr/src/contrib/sendmail/src, with `patch -p1' instead of `patch -p0'
one directory above that.  This is true for the patches of
sendmail.org that apply to the following versions of Sendmail:

= patch for sendmail 8.12
  ftp://ftp.sendmail.org/pub/sendmail/sendmail.8.12.security.cr.patch

= patch for sendmail 8.11
  ftp://ftp.sendmail.org/pub/sendmail/sendmail.8.11.6.security.cr.patch

= patch for sendmail 8.10
  ftp://ftp.sendmail.org/pub/sendmail/sendmail.8.11.6.security.cr.patch

The only patch that applies in /usr/src/contrib/sendmail with `patch -p0'
instead of /usr/src/contrib/sendmail/src is:

= patch for sendmail 8.9
  ftp://ftp.sendmail.org/pub/sendmail/sendmail.8.9.3.security.cr.patch
