Background - -Mailman is a mailing list manager. - -II. Problem Description - -The mailman port, versions prior to 2.0b5, contained several -locally exploitable vulnerabilities which could be used to gain root -privileges. - -The mailman port is not installed by default, nor is it "part of -FreeBSD" as such: it is part of the FreeBSD ports collection, which -contains over 3800 third-party applications in a ready-to-install -format. The ports collections shipped with FreeBSD 4.1 and 3.5.1 -contain this problem since it was discovered after the releases. - -FreeBSD makes no claim about the security of these third-party -applications, although an effort is underway to provide a security -audit of the most security-critical ports. - -III. Impact - -Unprivileged users can obtain root privileges on the local system. - -If you have not chosen to install the mailman port/package, then -your system is not vulnerable to this problem. - -IV. Workaround - -Deinstall the mailman port/package, if you have installed it. - -V. Solution - -One of the following: - -1) Upgrade your entire ports collection and rebuild the mailman port. - -2) Deinstall the old package and install a new package dated after the -correction date, obtained from: - -ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-3-stable/mail/mailman-2.0b5.tgz -ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4-stable/mail/mailman-2.0b5.tgz -ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/alpha/packages-4-stable/mail/mailman-2.0b5.tgz -ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-5-current/mail/mailman-2.0b5.tgz -ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/alpha/packages-5-current/mail/mailman-2.0b5.tgz - -NOTE: It may be several days before updated packages are available. - -3) download a new port skeleton for the listmanager port from: - -http://www.freebsd.org/ports/ - -and use it to rebuild the port. - -4) Use the portcheckout utility to automate option (3) above.
