Package : mailman
Problem type : cross-site scripting hole
Debian-specific: no

Barry A. Warsaw reported several cross-site scripting security holes
in Mailman, due to non-existent escaping of CGI variables.

These have been fixed upstream in version 2.0.8, and the relevant
patches have been backported to version 1.1-10 in Debian.
