Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.882206
Category:CentOS Local Security Checks
Title:CentOS Update for mailman CESA-2015:1153 centos7
Summary:Check the version of mailman
Description:Summary:
Check the version of mailman

Vulnerability Insight:
Mailman is a program used to help manage email
discussion lists.
It was found that mailman did not sanitize the list name before passing it
to certain MTAs. A local attacker could use this flaw to execute arbitrary
code as the user running mailman. (CVE-2015-2775)

This update also fixes the following bugs:

* Previously, it was impossible to configure Mailman in a way that
Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting & Conformance (DMARC) would
recognize Sender alignment for Domain Key Identified Mail (DKIM)
signatures. Consequently, Mailman list subscribers that belonged to a mail
server with a 'reject' policy for DMARC, such as yahoo.com or AOL.com, were
unable to receive Mailman forwarded messages from senders residing in any
domain that provided DKIM signatures. With this update, domains with a
'reject' DMARC policy are recognized correctly, and Mailman list
administrators are able to configure the way these messages are handled. As
a result, after a proper configuration, subscribers now correctly receive
Mailman forwarded messages in this scenario. (BZ#1229288)

* Previously, the /etc/mailman file had incorrectly set permissions, which
in some cases caused removing Mailman lists to fail with a ''NoneType'
object has no attribute 'close'' message. With this update, the permissions
value for /etc/mailman is correctly set to 2775 instead of 0755, and
removing Mailman lists now works as expected. (BZ#1229307)

* Prior to this update, the mailman utility incorrectly installed the
tmpfiles configuration in the /etc/tmpfiles.d/ directory. As a consequence,
changes made to mailman tmpfiles configuration were overwritten if the
mailman packages were reinstalled or updated. The mailman utility now
installs the tmpfiles configuration in the /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/ directory,
and changes made to them by the user are preserved on reinstall or update.
(BZ#1229306)

All mailman users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
contain backported patches to correct these issues.

Affected Software/OS:
mailman on CentOS 7

Solution:
Please install the updated packages.
