It can prevent viruses by blocking multipart messages but many users are now want to pass multipart. This patch extents the check into the attachment header so that viruses which have .exe/.pif file can be prevented by the same interface. Note that cheking is limited to the second level of multiparts because collecting all the header will cause infinite loop because owner notification message is also checked by this module. Usage: after applying this patch and restart mailman, go to the privacy/spam admin page and insert a rule content-.*name.*\.(exe|pif|com|vbs) to be discarded. Cheers, ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Tokio Kikuchi (tkikuchi) Date: 2004-10-09 04:59 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=67709 Merged in CVS, closing.

[ mailman-Bugs-1030228 ] Mass Subscribe address with control character - can't delete

Bugs item #1030228, was opened at 2004-09-18 05:28 Message generated for change (Comment added) made by tkikuchi You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=1030228&group_… Category: (un)subscribing Group: 2.1 (stable) >Status: Closed Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Mark Sapiro (msapiro) Assigned to: Tokio Kikuchi (tkikuchi) Summary: Mass Subscribe address with control character - can't delete Initial Comment: Mailman 2.1.4 We mass subscribed an automatically generated list of addresses. One of these contained an ascii Vertical-Tab character. The (somewhat munged for privacy) address in the mass subscribe list was lauxxxxxher(a)comcast.net<VT>rixxxxxher where <VT> represents ascii Vertical Tab (hex 0B). The address was subscribed OK and then noticed to be bad. We followed the link from the member list to that member's option page an attempted to unsubscribe it and "encountered a bug". This happened twice in succession and then a third time about an hour later. The error log entry from the first try is attached (with the same address munging). Another list administrator tried the same thing the next morning and that time it worked. We don't know why what we think was the same unsubscribe procedure didn't work 3 times and then worked the next day. the following is in Utils.py # TBD: what other characters should be disallowed? _badchars = re.compile(r'[][()<>|;^,/\200-\377]') A fix might be to add the range \000-\037 to the _badchars re, but this may not be correct. It is not clear whether they should be allowed. RFC 2822 allows "non white space" control characters in domain-literals, but not in local-parts of addresses. However, RFC 2821 (SMTP) says: A domain (or domain name) consists of one or more dot-separated components. These components ("labels" in DNS terminology) are restricted for SMTP purposes to consist of a sequence of letters, digits, and hyphens drawn from the ASCII character set. Thus, it seems that for Mailman purposes it would be safe to not allow any of \000-\037 in addresses. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Tokio Kikuchi (tkikuchi) Date: 2004-10-09 04:17 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=67709 Closing for merged in CVS: Checking in SecurityManager.py; new revision: 2.20.2.4; previous revision: 2.20.2.3 Checking in Utils.py; new revision: 2.45.2.9; previous revision: 2.45.2.8 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Tokio Kikuchi (tkikuchi) Date: 2004-09-21 00:55 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=67709 sorry, I am now updating the patch. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Mark Sapiro (msapiro) Date: 2004-09-20 20:47 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1123998 I see the patch changes Utils.py as follows: -_badchars = re.compile(r'[][()<>|;^,/\200-\377]') +_badchars = re.compile(r'[][()<>|;^,\000-\037\200-\377]') Per discussion on mailman-developers list, I think \177 should also be disallowed: +_badchars = re.compile(r'[][()<>|;^,\000-\037\177-\377]') ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Tokio Kikuchi (tkikuchi) Date: 2004-09-20 05:20 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=67709 uploading a patch to fix this and other. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Terri Oda (spot) Date: 2004-09-18 05:54 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=110886 As a side note, if you have problems with illegal characters in subscribed addresses, here's the relevant FAQ entry: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq03.013.htp ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=1030228&group_…

While it is all right if (urlhost, mailhost) pair is one to one, if there are many to one urlhost->mailhost pairs, this function may return wrong host name. This patch trys to extract urlhost from private archive url and therefore does not suffer from multiple hostname for sigle email host.
