Detail
| 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. |

| Id | Description |
|---|---|
| 11749 | Mailman Mail Command Handler Malformed E-mail DoS Mailman contains a flaw that may allow a remote denial of service. The issue is due to an error in the mail command handler. By sending a specially crafted email command, a remote attacker can cause a denial of service, resulting in loss of availability for the mailman service. |
| 9206 | Mailman Error Page XSS Mailman contains a flaw that allows a remote cross site scripting attack. This flaw exists because the default error page does not adequately validate its input. This could allow a user to create a specially crafted URL that would execute arbitrary code in a user's browser within the trust relationship between the browser and the server, leading to a loss of integrity. |
| 9205 | Mailman options.py email Parameter XSS Mailman contains a flaw that allows a remote cross site scripting attack. This flaw exists because the application does not validate the email variable upon submission to the options.py script. This could allow a user to create a specially crafted URL that would execute arbitrary code in a user's browser within the trust relationship between the browser and the server, leading to a loss of integrity. |
| 3305 | Mailman Admin Pages XSS Mailman contains a flaw that allows a remote cross site scripting attack. This flaw exists because the application does not validate user supplied input upon submission to the admin scripts. This could allow a user to create a specially crafted URL that would execute arbitrary code in a user's browser within the trust relationship between the browser and the server, leading to a loss of integrity. |
