Hi,

The mailinglist software “majordomo” was found having several
local vulnerabilties. However, the licence of the program
prohibites us providing a fix! 🙁

You should either remove majordomo or trust your local users
until an official fix from greatcircles is available (which we will
distribute for SuSE customers too then of course).

Sorry guys, thats all we can do at the moment.

(that problem affects all other linux and bsd distributions as
well …)

Greets,
Marc
