Description
GNU Mailman 2.x before 2.1.30 uses the .obj extension for scrubbed application/octet-stream MIME parts. This behavior may contribute to XSS attacks against list-archive visitors, because an HTTP reply from an archive web server may lack a MIME type, and a web browser may perform MIME sniffing, conclude that the MIME type should have been text/html, and execute JavaScript code.
Affected configurations
• gnu mailman (>= 2.0 < 2.1.30)
• debian debian linux 9.0
• debian debian linux 10.0
• fedoraproject fedora 31
• fedoraproject fedora 32
• debian debian linux 8.0
• canonical ubuntu linux 16.04
• canonical ubuntu linux 18.04
• opensuse backports sle 15.0
• opensuse leap 15.2
