Dist Fedora Esm H88
Fedora Security Notification regarding Mailman versions prior to 2.1.3, addressing a cross-origin scripting flaw that affects users.
A cross-site scripting bug in the 'create' CGI script affects versionsof Mailman 2.1 before 2.1.3.

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-2.1.4

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

additional installation steps, these are described in:

/usr/share/doc/mailman-2.1.4/INSTALL.REDHAT

Update Information:

A cross-site scripting bug in the 'create' CGI script affects versions of Mailman 2.1 before 2.1.3. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2003-0992 to this issue. * Fri Jan 09 2004 John Dennis <jdennis@finch.boston.redhat.com> 3:2.1.4-1
