Mailman - The GNU Mailing List Management System Copyright (C) 1998-2006 by the Free Software Foundation, Inc. 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301, USA Here is a history of user visible changes to Mailman. 2.1.9 (12-Sep-2006) Security - A malicious user could visit a specially crafted URI and inject an apparent log message into Mailman's error log which might induce an unsuspecting administrator to visit a phishing site. This has been blocked. Thanks to Moritz Naumann for its discovery. - Fixed denial of service attack which can be caused by some standards-breaking RFC 2231 formatted headers. CVE-2006-2941. - Several cross-site scripting issues have been fixed. Thanks to Moritz Naumann for their discovery. CVE-2006-3636 - Fixed an unexploitable format string vulnerability. Discovery and fix by Karl Chen. Analysis of non-exploitability by Martin 'Joey' Schulze. Also thanks go to Lionel Elie Mamane. CVE-2006-2191. Internationalization - New languages: Arabic, Vietnamese. Bug fixes and other patches - Fixed Decorate.py so that characters in message header/footer which are not in the character set of the list's language are ignored rather than causing shunted messages (1507248). - Switchboard.py - Closed very tiny holes at the upper ends of queue slices that could result in unprocessable queue entries. Improved FIFO processing when two queue entries have the same timestamp. 2.1.8 (15-Apr-2006) Security - A cross-site scripting hole in the private archive script of 2.1.7 has been closed. Thanks to Moritz Naumann for its discovery. Bug fixes and other patches - Bouncers support added: 'unknown user', Microsoft SMTPSVC, Prodigy.net and several others. - Updated email library to 2.5.7 which will encode payload into qp/base64 upon setting. This enabled backing out the scrubber related patches including 'X-Mailman-Scrubbed' header in 2.1.7. - Fix SpamDetect.py potential hold/reject loop problem. - A warning message from email package to the stderr can cause error in Logging because stderr may be detached from the process during the qrunner run. We chose not to output errors to stderr but to the logs/error if the process is running under mailmanctl subprocess. - DKIM header cleansing was separated from Cleanse.py and added to -owner messages too. - Fixes: Lose Topics when go directly to topics URL (1194419). UnicodeError running bin/arch (1395683). edithtml.py missing import (1400128). Bad escape in cleanarch. Wrong timezone in list archive index pages (1433673). bin/arch fails with TypeError (1430236). Subscription fails with some Language combinations (1435722). Postfix delayed notification not recognized (863989). 2.1.7 (VERP) mistakes delay notice for bounce (1421285). show_qfiles: 'str' object has no attribute 'as_string' (1444447). Utils.get_domain() wrong if VIRTUAL_HOST_OVERVIEW off (1275856). Miscellaneous - Brad Knowles' mailman daily status report script updated to 0.0.16. 2.1.7 (31-Dec-2005) Security - The fix for CAN-2005-0202 has been enhanced to issue an appropriate message instead of just quietly dropping ./ and ../ from URLs. - A note on CVE-2005-3573: Although the RFC2231 bug example in the CVE has been solved in Mailman 2.1.6, there may be more cases where ToDigest.send_digests() can block regular delivery. We put the send_digests() calling part in a try/except clause and leave a message in the error log if something happened in send_digests(). Daily call of cron/senddigests will provide more detail to the site administrator. - List administrators can no longer change the user's option/subscription globally. Site admin can change these only if mm_cfg.ALLOW_SITE_ADMIN_COOKIES is set to Yes. -
