We have become aware that the version mailman as supplied in Debian
GNU/Linux 2.1 has a problem with verifying list administrators. The
problem is that the cookie value generation used was predictable, so
using forged authentication cookies it was possible to access the
list administration webpages without knowing the proper password.
More information about this vulnerability can be found at
 
June/001128.html

This has been fixed in version 1.0rc2-5.

We recommend you upgrade your mailman package immediately.

wget url
        will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
        will install the referenced file.
