> 
> CRITICAL:
> Moderately critical

> 
> WHERE:
> From remote
> 
> SOFTWARE:
> Mailman 2.x

> 
> DESCRIPTION:
> Some vulnerabilities have been reported in Mailman, which can be
> exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting and
> phishing attacks, and cause a DoS (Denial of Service).
> 
> 1) An error in the logging functionality can be exploited to inject a
> spoofed log message into the error log via a specially crafted URL.
> 
> Successful exploitation may trick an administrator into visiting a
> malicious web site.
> 
> 2) An error in the processing of malformed headers which does not
> follow the RFC 2231 standard can be exploited to cause a DoS (Denial
> of Service).
> 
> 3) Some unspecified input isn't properly sanitised before being
> returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML
> and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected
> site.
> 
> SOLUTION:
> The vulnerabilities have been fixed in version 2.1.9rc1 and will also
> be fixed in the upcoming 2.1.9 version soon.
> 
> PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
> The vendor credits Moritz Naumann.
