FC5test1 tracking bug, note that this issue is not fixed upstream in 2.1.6

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #173140 +++

Mailman Denial of Service

A message with a malformed Content-Disposition: headers can crash
mailman and prevent a list from working.  The bad file will not affect
all lists hosted on the machine, only the list which receives the
malicious message.

Comment 3 Harald Hoyer 2006-02-06 09:52:26 UTC

I believe this is fixed in mailman-2.1.7

Comment 4 Mark J. Cox 2006-02-06 10:06:13 UTC

agreed: 2.1.7 contains this code which looks like another way of fixing the issue

    # i18n file name is encoded                                                 
    lcset = Utils.GetCharSet(mlist.preferred_language)
    filename = Utils.oneline(msg.get_filename(''), lcset)
    fnext = os.path.splitext(filename)[1]
