Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.60592
Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu USN-586-1 (mailman)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to mailman
announced via advisory USN-586-1.

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 6.06 LTS
Ubuntu 6.10
Ubuntu 7.04
Ubuntu 7.10

This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of
Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu.

Details follow:

Multiple cross-site scripting flaws were discovered in mailman.
A malicious list administrator could exploit this to execute arbitrary
JavaScript, potentially stealing user credentials.

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

Ubuntu 6.06 LTS:
mailman 2.1.5-9ubuntu4.2

Ubuntu 6.10:
mailman 1:2.1.8-2ubuntu2.1

Ubuntu 7.04:
mailman 1:2.1.9-4ubuntu1.2

Ubuntu 7.10:
mailman 1:2.1.9-8ubuntu0.2

In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the
necessary changes.

NOTE: Due to an internal release testing mistake, earlier
published mailman versions 1:2.1.9-4ubuntu1.1 (for Ubuntu
7.04) and 1:2.1.9-8ubuntu0.1 (for Ubuntu 7.10) accidentally
included an incorrect patch and caused a regression, as reported in
https://launchpad.net/bugs/202332

This update includes fixes for the problem. We apologize for the
inconvenience.
