Is there a vulnerability in LISTSERV versions 1.8d through 14.3 as the 
forwarded message below indicates?  If so, is there indeed a level set 
release newer than 14.3 that fixes the problem?  The LISTSERV download 
web site still indicates that 14.3 is the latest version.  Thanks.

Peter Winter-Smith of NGSSoftware has discovered a number of 
vulnerabilities in L-Soft's LISTSERV list management system. The worst 
of these carries a high risk rating.

Affected versions include:

- LISTSERV version 14.3, including LISTSERV Lite and HPO
- LISTSERV version 1.8e, including LISTSERV Lite and HPO
- LISTSERV version 1.8d, including LISTSERV Lite and HPO

Running under Windows and Unix, and OpenVMS AXP.

Several of the flaws in question allow remote arbitrary code execution, 
others allow remote denial of service.

This issue has been resolved in the latest release of L-Soft LISTSERV 
(version 14.3 level set 2005a and above), which may be downloaded from:

http://www.lsoft.com/download/listserv.asp
http://www.lsoft.com/download/listservlite.asp

I (Peter Winter-Smith) would like to extend a special thanks to the 
support and development teams at L-Soft who were able to address these 
issues, from reporting to published fix, in well under a week.

NGSSoftware are going to withhold details of this flaw for three months. 
Full details will be published on the 25th August 2005. This three month 
window will allow users of L-Soft's LISTSERV the time needed to apply 
the patch before the details are released to the general public. This 
reflects NGSSoftware's approach to responsible disclosure.
