- Updated mailman packages that close a DoS vulnerability present in mailman
- versions prior to version 2.1 are now available.
-
- Mailman is a mailing list manager.
-
- Matthew Galgoci of Red Hat discovered a Denial of Service (DoS)
- vulnerability in versions of Mailman prior to 2.1. An attacker could send
- a carefully-crafted message causing mailman to crash. The Common
- Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name
- CAN-2003-0991 to this issue.
-
- Users of Mailman are advised to upgrade to the erratum packages, which
- include a backported security fix and are not vulnerable to this issue.
-
- Red Hat would like to thank Barry Warsaw for providing a patch for this
- issue.
