- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian Security Advisory DSA 436-2 [e-mail: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.
