Description:
An input validation vulnerability was reported in Mailman in 'private.py'. A remote user can access arbitrary files on the target system.
The true_path() function does not properly validate user-supplied input. A remote user that is a member of a private mailman list can submit a specially crafted input value to access files on the system, including the mailman configuration files and passwords.
A demonsration exploit may contain the following string:
"/...../"
Marcus Meissner reported this flaw.
