This update of mailman fixes the following security issues :
A malicious user could visit a specially crafted URI and inject an apparent log message into Mailman’s error log which might induce an unsuspecting administrator to visit a phishing site. This has been blocked. Thanks to Moritz Naumann for its discovery.
Fixed denial of service attack which can be caused by some standards-breaking RFC 2231 formatted headers.
CVE-2006-2941.
Several cross-site scripting issues have been fixed.
Thanks to Moritz Naumann for their discovery.
CVE-2006-3636
Fixed an unexploitable format string vulnerability.
Discovery and fix by Karl Chen. Analysis of non-exploitability by Martin ‘Joey’ Schulze. Also thanks go to Lionel Elie Mamane. CVE-2006-2191.
