The target is running version of the Mailman mailing list software that
allows a list subscriber to retrieve the mailman password of any other
subscriber by means of a specially crafted mail message to the server.
That is, a message sent to $listname-request@$target containing the
lines :
password address=$victim
password address=$subscriber
will return the password of both $victim and $subscriber for the list
$listname@$target.
***** OpenVAS has determined the vulnerability exists on the target***** simply by looking at the version number of Mailman installed***** there.
