"A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the admin CGI
script for Mailman before 2.1.4. This update moves Mailman to version
2.1.4 which is not vulnerable to this issue.

Updated packages were made available in February 2004 however the
original update notification email did not make it to
fedora-announce-list at that time.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding
description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable
has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible
without introducing additional issues."
