Several vulnerabilities have been fixed in the mailman package :

  • CAN-2003-0038 - potential cross-site scripting via certain CGI parameters (not known to be exploitable in this version)

  • CAN-2003-0965 - cross-site scripting in the administrative interface

  • CAN-2003-0991 - certain malformed email commands could cause the mailman process to crash

The cross-site scripting vulnerabilities could allow an attacker to perform administrative operations without authorization, by stealing a session cookie.
