Vulnerability Assessment Summary
DSA-720-1 smartlist

Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment

Jeroen van Wolffelaar noticed that the confirm add-on of SmartList,
the listmanager used on lists.debian.org, which is used on that host
as well, could be tricked to subscribe arbitrary addresses to the
lists.
For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in
version 3.15-5.woody.1.
For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in
version 3.15-18.
We recommend that you upgrade your smartlist package.
