*SuSE: mailman remote file disclosure
Due to incomplete input validation the "private" CGI script which handles archive retrieval could be used to read any file on the system, including the configuration database of the mailman lists which include passwords in plain text. A remote attacker just needs a valid account on one mailing list managed by this mailman instance. http://www.linuxsecurity.com/content/view/118279
