What is CVE-2006-0052?

The Mailman application, specifically versions 2.1.5 and earlier, contains a denial of service vulnerability due to the way the attachment scrubber (Scrubber.py) handles multipart MIME messages. By exploiting this vulnerability, remote attackers can craft a malicious message that includes two blank lines between the first boundary and the end boundary, which can lead to delivery failures for mailing lists. This situation compromises the functionality of the affected mail services, preventing legitimate users from receiving messages.
