corresponding updates for Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. In addition, the following CVEs
were fixed:

It was discovered that Mailman allows arbitrary content injection. An attacker
could use this to inject malicious content. (CVE-2020-12108, CVE-2020-15011)

It was discovered that Mailman improperly sanitize the MIME content. An
attacker could obtain sensitive information by sending a special type of
attachment. (CVE-2020-12137)

Original advisory details:

Andre Protas, Richard Cloke, and Andy Nuttall discovered that Mailman
did not properly associate cross-site request forgery (CSRF) tokens
to specific accounts. A remote attacker could use this to perform a
CSRF attack to gain access to another account. (CVE-2021-42097)

Andre Protas, Richard Cloke, and Andy Nuttall discovered that Mailman's
cross-site request forgery (CSRF) tokens for the options page are
derived from the admin password. A remote attacker could possibly use
this to assist in performing a brute force attack against the admin
password. (CVE-2021-42096)");
