Of course I went through my security contacts because I thought (and
still think) that this is a security issue.  I didn't want to disclose
it on a public mailing list such as this one before a fix (as
described in the message) was implemented.

Feedback from selected, trustworthy Mailman users indicates that
Mailman users also think that this is a security bug.
