Description Josh Bressers 2006-09-07 20:41:03 UTC
mailman logfile CRLF injection

Text taken from MITRE:
CRLF injection vulnerability in Utils.py in Mailman before 2.1.9rc1
allows remote attackers to spoof messages in the error log and
possibly trick the administrator into visiting malicious URLs via a
carriage return/line feed sequences in the URI.

The fix for this issue is here:
http://svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/mailman/?revision=7918&view=rev


This issue also affects RHEL3
This issue also affects RHEL2.1

Comment 1 RHEL Program Management 2007-05-09 09:41:28 UTC
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux maintenance release.  Product Management has requested
further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential
inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Update release for currently deployed
products.  This request is not yet committed for inclusion in an Update
release.

Comment 8 Josh Bressers 2007-09-05 21:02:22 UTC
The risks associated with fixing this bug are greater than the low severity
security risk. We therefore currently have no plans to fix this flaw in Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 2.1 and 3 which are in maintenance mode.

This bug will be addressed in a future update of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.

If you believe this judgement to be in error, please reopen this bug with an
appropriate comment.
