Initial import of mailman-2.1.5.1-34.rhel4.6.el4.sme.src.rpm

1 slords 1.1 Mailman security is in part enforced by requiring it execute
2     SGID. When the mail process or the web server attempts to execute a
3     mailman script a C program is invoked to verify the group
4     permission. Mailman as it is shipped only allows one group to be
5     specified at build time. For users who build and install on their own
6     machine this is not a limitation. However, when making a binary
7     package to be installed on an arbitrary machine it is hard to predict
8     the correct group to use for that installation. Therefore this patch
9     allows us to specify at build time a list of groups that will be
10     iterated over, if the mailman process is executing as any of one of
11     the group in the set of groups then the permission check passes. Since
12     the groups we build with are limited to a small number of safe groups
13     this does not lower the security much while at the same time provides
14     a much more friendly way to package a binary installation that will
15     run in a wider range of installations.
16    
17     It was necessary to add the macro MM_FIND_GROUP_LIST to the
18     configure.in file replacing the original use of MM_FIND_GROUP_NAME,
19     the former operates on a list of group names while the later on a
20     single name. MM_FIND_GROUP_LIST includes a filter parameter that was
21     added with the notion of supporting the with-permcheck option. If
22     filter is true then only group names that exist on the build machine
23     are permitted in the list, otherwise all names are permitted. However,
24     note that whenever MM_FIND_GROUP_LIST is invoked it is currently
25     hardcoded to disable filtering and is not tied to with-permcheck, this
26     was done because of the observation that if one is passing a list of
27     groups it is likely one is doing so to support installations that have
28     a group not present on the build machine, but one might still want to
29     take advantage of the other with-permcheck functionality.
