GNU » Mailman » 2.0.2 : Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs,

In GNU Mailman before 2.1.38, a list member or moderator can get a CSRF token and craft an admin request (using that token) to set a new admin password or make other changes.

In GNU Mailman before 2.1.36, the CSRF token for the Cgi/admindb.py admindb page contains an encrypted version of the list admin password. This could potentially be cracked by a moderator via an offline brute-force attack.

In GNU Mailman before 2.1.36, a crafted URL to the Cgi/options.py user options page can execute arbitrary JavaScript for XSS.

GNU Mailman before 2.1.35 may allow remote Privilege Escalation. A csrf_token value is not specific to a single user account. An attacker can obtain a value within the context of an unprivileged user account, and then use that value in a CSRF attack against an admin (e.g., for account takeover).

GNU Mailman before 2.1.35 may allow remote Privilege Escalation. A certain csrf_token value is derived from the admin password, and may be useful in conducting a brute-force attack against that password.

An issue was discovered in Mailman Core before 3.3.5. An attacker with access to the REST API could use timing attacks to determine the value of the configured REST API password and then make arbitrary REST API calls. The REST API is bound to localhost by default, limiting the ability for attackers to exploit this, but can optionally be made to listen on other interfaces.

GNU Mailman before 2.1.33 allows arbitrary content injection via the Cgi/private.py private archive login page.

GNU Mailman 2.x before 2.1.30 uses the .obj extension for scrubbed application/octet-stream MIME parts. This behavior may contribute to XSS attacks against list-archive visitors, because an HTTP reply from an archive web server may lack a MIME type, and a web browser may perform MIME sniffing, conclude that the MIME type should have been text/html, and execute JavaScript code.

/options/mailman in GNU Mailman before 2.1.31 allows Arbitrary Content Injection.

An issue was discovered in GNU Mailman before 2.1.28. A crafted URL can cause arbitrary text to be displayed on a web page from a trusted site.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the web UI in Mailman before 2.1.26 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a user-options URL.

Cross-site scripting vulnerability in Mailman 2.1.26 and earlier allows remote authenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via unspecified vectors.

Directory traversal vulnerability in GNU Mailman before 2.1.20, when not using a static alias, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary files via a .. (dot dot) in a list name.

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in Cgi/confirm.py in GNU Mailman 2.1.14 and earlier allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the (1) full name or (2) username field in a confirmation message.

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in GNU Mailman before 2.1.14rc1 allow remote authenticated users to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via vectors involving (1) the list information field or (2) the list description field.

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 CRLF sequences in the URI.

Format string vulnerability in Mailman before 2.1.9 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors. NOTE: the vendor has disputed this vulnerability, stating that it is "unexploitable.

The attachment scrubber (Scrubber.py) in Mailman 2.1.5 and earlier, when using Python's library email module 2.5, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (mailing list delivery failure) via a multipart MIME message with a single part that has two blank lines between the first boundary and the end boundary.

Scrubber.py in Mailman 2.1.5-8 does not properly handle UTF8 character encodings in filenames of e-mail attachments, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash).

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the driver script in mailman before 2.1.5 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a URL, which is not properly escaped in the resulting error page.

The password generation in mailman before 2.1.5 generates only 5 million unique passwords, which makes it easier for remote attackers to guess passwords via a brute force attack.

Mailman before 2.0.13 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via an email message with an empty subject field.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the create CGI script for Mailman before 2.1.3 allows remote attackers to steal cookies of other users.

Unknown vulnerability in the mail command handler in Mailman before 2.0.14 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via malformed e-mail commands.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the admin CGI script for Mailman before 2.1.4 allows remote attackers to steal session cookies and conduct unauthorized activities.
