Advisory ID MDKSA-2005:222
Affected versions 10.1, CS3.0, 10.2, 2006.0
Synopsis Updated mailman packages fix various vulnerabilities

Problem Description

Scrubber.py in Mailman 2.1.4 - 2.1.6 does not properly handle UTF8
character encodings in filenames of e-mail attachments, which allows
remote attackers to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2005-3573)

In addition, these versions of mailman have an issue where the server
will fail with an Overflow on bad date data in a processed message.

The version of mailman in Corporate Server 2.1 does not contain the
above vulnerable code.

Updated packages are patched to correct these issues.
