Description:	Summary: Authenticated Mailman users can view arbitrary files on the remote host. According to its version number, the remote installation of Mailman reportedly is prone to a directory traversal vulnerability in 'Cgi/private.py'. Vulnerability Insight: The flaw comes into play only on web servers that don't strip extraneous slashes from URLs, such as Apache 1.3.x, and allows a list subscriber, using a specially crafted web request, to retrieve arbitrary files from the server - any file accessible by the user under which the web server operates, including email addresses and passwords of subscribers of any lists hosted on the server. For example, if '$user' and '$pass' identify a subscriber of the list '$listname@$target', then the following URL : http://example.com/mailman/private/$listname/.../....///mailman?username=$user&password=$pass allows access to archives for the mailing list named 'mailman' for which the user might not otherwise be entitled. Solution: Upgrade to Mailman 2.1.6b1 or apply the fix referenced in the first URL above. CVSS Score: 5.0 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N
