The remote host is missing an update for the 'mailman' package(s) announced via the referenced advisory. Multiple input sanitization flaws were found in the way Mailman displayed usernames of subscribed users on certain pages, leading to cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. Flaws also existed in the way Mailman displayed mailing list information, allowing list administrators to conduct XSS attacks

  Multiple input sanitization flaws were found in the way Mailman displayed
  usernames of subscribed users on certain pages. If a user who is subscribed
  to a mailing list were able to trick a victim into visiting one of those
  pages, they could perform a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack against the
  victim. (CVE-2011-0707)

  Multiple input sanitization flaws were found in the way Mailman displayed

  to conduct a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack against victims viewing a

  Red Hat would like to thank Mark Sapiro for reporting the CVE-2011-0707 and
