mailman vulnerability
==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

Summary:

A system hardening measure could be bypassed.

Software Description:
- mailman: Web-based mailing list manager

Details:

It was discovered that Mailman incorrectly handled CSRF tokens. A remote
list member or moderator could possibly use their own token to craft an
admin request CSRF attack and set a new admin password or make other
changes.

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

  mailman                         1:2.1.29-1ubuntu3.1+esm2

Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
  mailman                         1:2.1.20-1ubuntu0.6+esm3
                                  Available with Ubuntu Pro
