[Bug 769318] [NEW] admindb should have 'logout' function
by Tokio Kikuchi 15 Jun '12

15 Jun '12

*** This bug is a security vulnerability *** Private security bug reported: Current 2.1 admindb interface have no link (or button) to logout the administrator/moderator. An administrator can logout from mailman from admin interface but a moderator cannot logout without zapping the moderator cookie by browser's function (if it is provided) or terminating the browser. The admindb web page should have a convenient 'logout' link. Another inconvenience in admin logout funciton is that if the site-wide admin is allowed by mm_cfg.ALLOW_SITE_ADMIN_COOKIES then the administrator cannot logout with visiting the 'Logout' link in the admin page. These bugs are fixed by lp:~tkikuchi/mailman/logout-enforcement and the branch was requested to merge into 2.1 series. ** Affects: mailman Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mailman Coders, which is a direct subscriber. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/769318 Title: admindb should have 'logout' function

Public bug reported: If a real name or comment in a From: or other sender header is RFC 2047 encoded and the decoding contains an unquoted comma or other special, the Message methods get_sender() and get_senders() can return bogus addresses leading to other issues.

Public bug reported: A list moderator receives a held message notification and attempts to approve the message by replying to the third part (second attachment) and including an Approved: <password> line as the first line of the reply. If the moderator's MUA base64 encodes the reply for i18n or other reasons, the Approved: line is not found and the message is discarded. ** Affects: mailman Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Reply to to part 3 of a held message notification containing a Approved: first body line fails if reply is base64 encoded. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/677115 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mailman Coders, which is subscribed to GNU Mailman.

[Bug 600780] [NEW] Login function needed in rest-client
by Anna 06 Apr '12

06 Apr '12

Public bug reported: For a good, working Mailman 3.0 UI we have to handle the passwords for each user (needed when they subscribe/unsubscribe/want to access their settings page but also for the admins and listowners). Hence, we need to implement the possibility to check for passwords in the rest-client (I believe these are saved in the user table in the core DB) and/or a login function. We should probably use https for the psw authentication. ** Affects: mailman Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: mailman3 rest-api -- Login function needed in rest-client https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/600780 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mailman Coders, which is subscribed to GNU Mailman.

[Bug 685261] [NEW] emailed command in subject header is ignored
by Mark Sapiro 06 Apr '12

06 Apr '12

Public bug reported: For example, a held message notification to the list owner/moderator contains an attached message/rfc822 part with subject "confirm <token>" and this message can be replied to with or without an "Approved: <password>" header/first body line to accept or discard the held message. The code allows for an MUA possibly inserting 'Re:' or some l10n equivalent in the subject making it "Re: confirm <token>", but if the l10n equivalent contains a non-ascii character, the entire command is ignored and the message continues to be held. ** Affects: mailman Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: mailman3 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mailman Coders, which is subscribed to GNU Mailman. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/685261 Title: emailed command in subject header is ignored

[Bug 770328] [NEW] REST qrunner sometimes does not exit after tests exception
by Barry Warsaw 25 Sep '11

25 Sep '11

Public bug reported: When the test suite gets an exception in the REST qrunner, it sometimes prevents the qrunner from exiting. The symptom of this is that the next time you try to run the test suite, you'll get an Address In Use error early on. This is because the test suite will try to start a new REST qrunner, which wants to bind to port 9001, but that's already in use by the "zombie" qrunner. The workaround is fairly simple. Just kill -HUP the zombie from the shell. Once it exits, the port gets freed up and the test suite will work again. ** Affects: mailman Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: mailman3 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mailman Coders, which is subscribed to GNU Mailman. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/770328 Title: REST qrunner sometimes does not exit after tests exception

[Bug 643949] [NEW] Need REST API to change existing user's email
by Timr-probo 29 Apr '11

29 Apr '11

Public bug reported: Perhaps the most common administrative task I face is changing an existing user's email address. Many non-technical people change email addresses very often. This is easy to do with the command line clone_users command, but in a hosted environment, I have to find the user, delete them, go to "mass subscription", and re-enter them. It would be nice if the REST API included a "change one user's address" command. ** Affects: mailman Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: mailman3 -- Need REST API to change existing user's email https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/643949 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mailman Coders, which is subscribed to GNU Mailman.

Public bug reported: This is Mailman 2.14, but the bug was also present in ancient releases. We have a list configured like this: archive=No archive_private=Yes The global settings are: DEFAULT_ARCHIVE=On DEFAULT_ARCHIVE_PRIVATE=0 ARCHIVE_TO_MBOX=2 PRIVATE_EXTERNAL_ARCHIVER=No Even though no html archives are being generated, Mailman still creates the attachments directory for this list, and saves all attachments in it. I've traced the code responsible for this to ArchiverMailbox.__init__(), invoked by HyperArchive.processUnixMailbox(). I couldn't find where Mailman uses the perl-list 'archive' flag.
