Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu: Security Advisory (USN-345-1)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'mailman' package(s) announced via the USN-345-1 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'mailman' package(s) announced via the USN-345-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Steve Alexander discovered that mailman did not properly handle
attachments with special filenames. A remote user could exploit that
to stop mail delivery until the server administrator manually cleaned
these posts. (CVE-2006-2941)

Various cross-site scripting vulnerabilities have been reported by
Barry Warsaw. By using specially crafted email addresses, names, and
similar arbitrary user-defined strings, a remote attacker could
exploit this to run web script code in the list administrator's
web browser. (CVE-2006-3636)

URLs logged to the error log file are now checked for invalid
characters. Before, specially crafted URLs could inject arbitrary
messages into the log.

Affected Software/OS:
'mailman' package(s) on Ubuntu 5.04, Ubuntu 5.10, Ubuntu 6.06.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
6.8
