MiracleLinux 4 : mailman-2.1.12-14.AXS4.2 (AXSA:2011-73:01)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 284291

Synopsis

The remote MiracleLinux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote MiracleLinux 4 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the AXSA:2011-73:01 advisory.

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.
Documentation can be found in: /usr/share/doc/mailman-2.1.9 Security issues fixed with this release:
CVE-2010-3089 Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in GNU Mailman before 2.1.14rc1 allow remote authenticated users to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via vectors involving (1) the list information field or (2) the list description field.
CVE-2011-0707 Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in Cgi/confirm.py in GNU Mailman 2.1.14 and earlier allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the (1) full name or (2) username field in a confirmation message.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the MiracleLinux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected mailman, pango and / or pango-devel packages.
