Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDKSA-2006:061
http://www.mandriva.com/security/

Package : mailman
Date : March 29, 2006
Affected: 10.2, Corporate 3.0

Problem Description:

Scrubber.py, in Mailman 2.1.5 and earlier, when using email 2.5 (part of Python), is susceptible to a DoS (mailman service stops delivering for the list in question) if it encounters a badly formed mime multipart message with only one part and that part has two blank lines between the first boundary and the end boundary.

Updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.
