Definitely exploitable on Solaris 2.5 (and presumably lower).  As
Wolfgang and others pointed out. Just used bash instead of /bin/sh.
No need to use /tmp either. Heck you could put it in /usr/bin!

Patch to 8.8.2 from Eric Allman seems to work (on Solaris 2.4)
"leshka" prints "501 Permission denied" and "smptd" is not spawned.
Log message: sendmail[17653]: uid 1374 tried to start daemon mode

Sorry for the O/S version discrepancies here. 2.4 machine was most
critical so I patched it first.
