EulerOS 2.0 SP1 : mailman (EulerOS-SA-2018-1086)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 109484

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS host is missing multiple security updates.

Description

According to the versions of the mailman package installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

 - Mailman is software to help manage email discussion lists, much like Majordomo and Smartmail. Unlike most similar products, Mailman gives each mailing list a webpage, and allows users to subscribe,unsubscribe, etc. over the Web. Even the list manager can administer his or her list entirely from the Web. Mailman also integrates most things people want to do with mailing lists, including archiving, mail news gateways, and so on.

 - Security fix(es):

 - Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the web UI in Mailman before 2.1.26 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web or HTML via a user-options URL.(CVE-2018-5980)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected mailman packages.
