-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian Security Advisory DSA 436-2 security@debian.org http://www.debian.org/security/ Matt Zimmerman February 21st, 2004 http://www.debian.org/security/faq - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Package : mailman Vulnerability : several Problem-Type : remote Debian-specific: no CVE Ids : CAN-2003-0991 CAN-2003-0965 CAN-2003-0038 Several vulnerabilities have been fixed in the mailman package: - CAN-2003-0038 - potential cross-site scripting via certain CGI parameters (not known to be exploitable in this version) - CAN-2003-0965 - cross-site scripting in the administrative interface - CAN-2003-0991 - certain malformed email commands could cause the mailman process to crash The cross-site scripting vulnerabilities could allow an attacker to perform administrative operations without authorization, by stealing a session cookie. In the process of fixing these vulnerabilities for DSA 436-1, a bug was introduced which could cause mailman to crash on certain malformed messages. For the current stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 2.0.11-1woody8. The update for the unstable distribution did not share the bug introduced in DSA 436-1. We recommend that you update your mailman package. Upgrade Instructions - -------------------- wget url will fetch the file for you dpkg -i file.deb will install the referenced file.
