This is a documented issue and the advised work around it to either have no untrusted users on a system running majordomo or to use a setuid wrapper that the MTA delivery agent can run. suboptimal solution. We feel that those options are not a good solution, but unfortunately the majordomo license does not allow us to fix these problems and distribute a fixed version. As a result we have decided to remove majordomo from our archives. If you are using majordomo we recommend that you replace it with one of the many other mailing-list tools available such as fml, mailman or smartlist. - -- - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- For apt-get: deb https://security.debian.org/ stable updates For dpkg-ftp: ftp://security.debian.org/debian-security dists/stable/updates Mailing list: This email address is being protected from spambots.
