Summary:	Ubuntu 4.10 USN-78-2 (mailman)
Description:	The remote host is missing an update to mailman announced via advisory USN-78-2. Ubuntu Security Announce USN-78-1 described a path traversal vulnerability in the private module of Mailman. Unfortunately this updated mailman package was broken so that the private module could not be executed at all any more. The latest package version fixes this. We apologize for the inconvenience. For reference, this is the description of the original USN: An path traversal vulnerability has been discovered in the private module of Mailman. A flawed path sanitation algorithm allowed the construction of URLS to arbitrary files readable by Mailman. This allowed a remote attacker to retrieve configuration and password databases, private list archives, and other files. The following packages are affected: mailman Solution: The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to version 2.1.5-1ubuntu2.4. In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the necessary changes. http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=USN-78-2 Risk factor : Medium
