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.
