Dist Fedora Esm H88
Mitigating CVE-2020-12108 through an update in RPM Mailman system to bolster email list administration security protocols.
notes=Security fix for CVE-2020-12108

Summary

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

When the package has finished installing, you will need to perform some

additional installation steps, these are described in:

/usr/share/doc/mailman/INSTALL.REDHAT
