Seems to me it's quite similar to exploit posted by me to BUGTRAQ before
(and available at http://lcamtuf.na.export.pl/pliki/rootcron), except that
your exploit makes blind assumption on procmail as default mailer (hmm)
and other parts of /etc/sendmail.cf - eg. default user settings... And
finally, +s /tmp/sh is not always enough (setuid(getuid()) is quite
common)...

In fact, can't see anything innovative, but execuse me if I'm wrong ;)
