Re: [cobalt-users] [Cobalt] Security Advisory - Majordomo



Jeff,

This MAY create some problems for me. I have two incidences of Majordomo installed on my RaQ2. One that came with it; it's at /usr/local/majordomo, and one that I installed, at usr/local/majord after customer service told me they couldn't support me setting up complex lists using the installed Majordomo.

The package will of course "fix" the preinstalled one. It won't do a thing for the one I installed myself, I'm sure.

And frankly, I don't use the preinstalled one.

I didn't see any fixes or mention of problems on the <www.greatcircle.com> site. Nor do I see any issues brought up in the Majordomo mailing list.

Is this a problem local to your own version of Majordomo? Or should all Majordomo's be changed?

Thanks for your response.

Jeff

Basically it fixes the way Majordomo opens file handles, instead of
using the default perl open command (which can open anything) it uses
sysopen.  I have attached a diff of changed files.
