The advisory has since come out on freebsd-announce@... 
FreeBSD-SA-03:11.sendmail is on the FTP site at
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/CERT/advisories/FreeBSD-SA-03:11.sendmail.asc
and the link on the website front page will appear Real Soon Now.

If you look at
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/contrib/sendmail/src/?sortby=date&only_with_tag=RELENG_4_8#dirlist
you'll see that the fix requires a minimal patch to the file
sm_resolve.c:

 		(*rr)->rr_domain = sm_strdup(host);
 		if ((*rr)->rr_domain == NULL)
 		{

This has been applied to all of the code branches mentioned in the
advisory, but only STABLE (RELENG_4) and CURRENT (HEAD) got the full
import of sendmail-8.12.9, which contains other, non-security related,
fixes as well.

	Cheers,
