Solaris sendmail may be older, the latest one is 8.8.5:

        ftp://ftp.sendmail.org/ucb/src/sendmail/sendmail.8.8.5.tar

Its sendmail.cf is slightly different from the stock Solaris.

If you don't have the time to build, you may get a 2.5.1
sendmail binary (note, it's risky to download binaries, no
guarantees implied or expressed etc. etc.) under:

        ftp://ftp.professionals.com/pub/professionals/sendmail-sunos5.4/sendmail.8.8.5
        /usr/ucb/sum 37416   388 .../sendmail.8.8.5

CERT advisories on sendmail are under http://www.cert.org.

Sanjay.
