The answer here depends what release of Sendmail you were running before.
If you were already on an 8.12.(0-4), you should be able to just build a
new binary with the same options, build the two new .cf files from your existing
.mc files, and go.  If you were running 8.9 through 8.11, you have some
additional work to do.

If you're using Kerry Andersen's patch for passive probe support, you'll
have to apply that and compile with -DLISTSERV.  There's been no change to
that code in ages, so any 8.12 version of the patch should work (with possibly
a warning about 2-3 lines offset).

The hole is certainly not big enough to categorize as requiring an "emergency"
upgrade - the DNS "TXT" vulnerability only applies to sites that have
*specifically* build .cf files that use it.

Definitely take your time, test, get it right. ;)
