Technical Description

Mandriva has released updated packages to address a vulnerability identified in Mailman. This flaw is due to an input validation error in the "Scrubber.py" script that does not properly handle an email containing an attachment with "utf8" characters in its filename, which could be exploited by remote attackers to cause a denial of service by sending a specially crafted email to a vulnerable server. For additional information, see : VUPEN/ADV-2005-2404
