Description

LISTSERV contains a flaw that may lead to an unauthorized information disclosure. The issue is triggered when a remote attacker sends the "lists" command (and possibly others). The list manager will return mail with valid mail lists, as well as other system information including the CPU type and machine load. This may disclose the remote operating system which can assist an attacker in more focused attacks.
