"The remote Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced
in the ALINUX3-SA-2022:0194 advisory.

    Package updates are available for Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2021-42096:
    GNU Mailman before 2.1.35 may allow remote Privilege Escalation. A certain csrf_token value is derived
    from the admin password, and may be useful in conducting a brute-force attack against that password.

    CVE-2021-42097:
    GNU Mailman before 2.1.35 may allow remote Privilege Escalation. A csrf_token value is not specific to a
    single user account. An attacker can obtain a value within the context of an unprivileged user account,
    and then use that value in a CSRF attack against an admin (e.g., for account takeover).

    CVE-2021-44227:
    In GNU Mailman before 2.1.38, a list member or moderator can get a CSRF token and craft an admin request
    (using that token) to set a new admin password or make other changes.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Alibaba Cloud Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
