>> Mailman Multiple Cross Site Scripting and Remote Denial of Service Vulnerabilities
|
Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in Mailman, which could be exploited by attackers to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary scripting code.
The first issue is due to an input validation error when writing URLs to the error log, which could be exploited by attackers to induce an administrator to visit a phishing site.
The second flaw is due to an error when processing non-standard RFC 2231 formatted headers, which could be exploited by attackers to cause a denial of service.
The third vulnerability is due to unspecified input validation errors, which could be exploited by attackers to cause arbitrary scripting code to be executed by the user's browser in the security context of an affected Web site.
