RHSA-2006:0600: mailman security update

First published: Wed Sep 06 2006(Updated: )

Mailman is a program used to help manage email discussion lists. A flaw was found in the way Mailman handled MIME multipart messages. An attacker could send a carefully crafted MIME multipart email message to a mailing list run by Mailman which caused that particular mailing list to stop working. (CVE-2006-2941) Several cross-site scripting (XSS) issues were found in Mailman. An attacker could exploit these issues to perform cross-site scripting attacks against the Mailman administrator. (CVE-2006-3636) Red Hat would like to thank Barry Warsaw for disclosing these vulnerabilities. Users of Mailman should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to correct this issue.
