A new mailman vulnerability update is available for Ubuntu Linux. Here the announcement:
Ubuntu Security Notice USN-267-1 April 03, 2006
mailman vulnerability
CVE-2006-0052
===========================================================
A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:
Ubuntu 4.10 (Warty Warthog)
Ubuntu 5.04 (Hoary Hedgehog)
Ubuntu 5.10 (Breezy Badger)
The following packages are affected:
mailman
The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to
version 2.1.5-1ubuntu2.7 (for Ubuntu 4.10), 2.1.5-7ubuntu0.2 (for
Ubuntu 5.04), or 2.1.5-8ubuntu2.2 (for Ubuntu 5.10). In general, a
standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the necessary changes.
Details follow:
A remote Denial of Service vulnerability was discovered in the decoder
for multipart messages. Certain parts of type "message/delivery-status"
or parts containing only two blank lines triggered an exception. An
attacker could exploit this to crash Mailman by sending a
specially crafted email to a mailing list.
