DESCRIPTION
Mailman[1] is a mailing list manager.
"office" reported[3] several cross site scripting vulnerabilities in
Mailman versions 2.0.11 and older. The authors have been notified and
released[2] version 2.0.12 shortly thereafter to address these
issues.
Using these vulnerabilities a remote attacker could obtain sensitive
information, such as authentication cookies or even the
administrative password of a specific mailing list, by crafting a
special URL with javascript in it and somehow having a list
administrator click on it.
This announcement updates mailman to version 2.0.13.
SOLUTION
It is recommended that all mailman administratores upgrade their
packages.
