[Mailman-Users] security heads up - path traversal with 2.1.5

[Warren Woodward]

For whatever its worth, it is a daily concern to me that there are common 
enemies out there that have far more time to keep up on exploits in 
certain areas than I do.  

I rely on this list for Mailman info.  Before this afternoon, I was
unaware my server, with over 400 lists and tens of thousands of
subscribers, was completely vulnerable.  Now I know, it has been secured, 
and I was able to verify from logs that it was undamaged.

Why anyone would consider that a problem is beyond my comprehension.
