Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

The security update of mailman announced as DLA-1442-1 introduced a regression due to an incomplete fix for CVE-2018-13796 that broke the admin and listinfo overview pages.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', this problem has been fixed in version 1:2.1.18-2+deb8u4.

We recommend that you upgrade your mailman packages.

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

Solution

Upgrade the affected mailman package.
