-=============================================================================
-FreeBSD-SA-00:51 Security Advisory
- FreeBSD, Inc.
-
-Topic: mailman port allows local root compromise
-
-Category: ports
-Module: mailman
-Announced: 2000-09-13
-Affects: Ports collection.
-Corrected: 2000-08-05
-Credits:
-Vendor status: Updated version released.
-FreeBSD only: NO
-
-I. 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. The
-portcheckout port is available in /usr/ports/devel/portcheckout or the
-package can be obtained from:
-
-ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-3-stable/devel/portcheckout-2.0.tgz
-ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4-stable/devel/portcheckout-2.0.tgz
-ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/alpha/packages-4-stable/devel/portcheckout-2.0.tgz
-ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-5-current/devel/portcheckout-2.0.tgz
-ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/alpha/packages-5-current/devel/portcheckout-2.0.tgz
