Description Josh Bressers 2006-03-30 20:24:31 UTC 
Mailman DoS

It is possible to prevent a mailing list from functioning properly by
sending a misformed multipart message to a mailman list.  This
malformed message would prevent new messages sent to a list from being
processed.

Fixed in 2.1.6

Here is the original message:
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2005-June/045107.html

Here is the patch:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/mailman/mailman/Mailman/Handlers/Scrubber.py?r1=2.18.2.12&r2=2.18.2.13

CVE-2006-0052 Doesn't affect: FC5 (version)

Comment 2 David Eisenstein 2006-06-05 07:34:59 UTC 
I am suspecting that this bug report is related to the mailman package that
was released in FEDORA-2006-534, mailman-2.1.8-0.FC4.1, 
<http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-package-announce/2006-May/msg00134.html>?

If so, should this bug be closed ERRATA?
Comment 3 Josh Bressers 2006-06-05 10:59:13 UTC 
Yes, this was fixed in FEDORA-2006-534.
