Ubuntu Security Notice USN-78-1 February 09, 2005
mailman vulnerabilities
CAN-2005-0202
===========================================================
A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:
Ubuntu 4.10 (Warty Warthog)
The following packages are affected:
mailman
The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to
version 2.1.5-1ubuntu2.3. In general, a standard system upgrade is
sufficient to effect the necessary changes.
Details follow:
An path traversal vulnerability has been discovered in the "private"
module of Mailman. A flawed path sanitation algorithm allowed the
construction of URLS to arbitrary files readable by Mailman. This
allowed a remote attacker to retrieve configuration and password
databases, private list archives, and other files.
