Package: mailman
Version: 1:2.1.18-2
Severity: important
The current copy of /etc/mailman/apache.conf in the mailmain package
has configuration items that are for Apache 2.2. For example:
<Directory /usr/lib/cgi-bin/mailman/>
AllowOverride None
Options ExecCGI
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
However, Debian now uses the Apache 2.4 and the above does not really work.
Specifically, the two lines:
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
should probably be:
Require all granted
Per:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/upgrading.html#access
At the very least a "apache24.conf" file should be present so that people
are aware of the change. The "apache.conf" file can perhaps be left for
upgrade purposes perhaps.
