 Package : mailman
 Date    : December 2, 2005
 Affected: 10.1, 10.2, 2006.0, Corporate 3.0
 _______________________________________________________________________
 
 Problem Description:
 
 Scrubber.py in Mailman 2.1.4 - 2.1.6 does not properly handle UTF8
 character encodings in filenames of e-mail attachments, which allows
 remote attackers to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2005-3573)
 
 In addition, these versions of mailman have an issue where the server
 will fail with an Overflow on bad date data in a processed message.
 
 The version of mailman in Corporate Server 2.1 does not contain the
 above vulnerable code.
 
 Updated packages are patched to correct these issues.
