Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Mailman versions 2.1.5 and earlier

Description A directory traversal issue exists in the true path function in private.py, allowing remote attackers to read arbitrary files by utilizing ".../....///" sequences. These sequences are not properly removed by regular expressions intended to cleanse "../" and "./" sequences.

Recommendations For Mailman versions 2.1.5 and earlier, consider restricting access to sensitive files and directories until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, review and modify the true path function in private.py to properly handle and cleanse directory traversal sequences.
