- Due to an incompatibility between Python 1.5 and 2.1 the last mailman
- update did not run with Python 1.5 anymore. This problem is corrected
- with this update. This advisory only updates the packages updated
- with DSA 674-2. The version in unstable is not affected since it is
- not supposed to work with Python 1.5 anymore. For completeness below
- is the original advisory text:
- Two security related problems have been discovered in mailman,
- web-based GNU mailing list manager. The Common Vulnerabilities and
- Exposures project identifies the following problems:
- Florian Weimer discovered a cross-site scripting vulnerability in
- mailman\'s automatically generated error messages. An attacker
- could craft an URL containing JavaScript (or other content
- embedded into HTML) which triggered a mailman error page that
- would include the malicious code verbatim.
- Several listmasters have noticed unauthorised access to archives
- of private lists and the list configuration itself, including the
- users passwords. Administrators are advised to check the
- webserver logfiles for requests that contain "/...../" and the
- path to the archives or configuration. This does only seem to
- affect installations running on web servers that do not strip
- slashes, such as Apache 1.3.
- For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in
- version 2.0.11-1woody11.
- For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in
- version 2.1.5-6.
- We recommend that you upgrade your mailman package.
