The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'mailman' package(s) announced via the DLA-2791-1 advisory. It was discovered that there was a potential remote privilege escalation vulnerability in the Mailman mailing-list manager due to CSRF token values derived from the admin password, allowing for a brute-force attack. CVE-2021-42096 & CVE-2021-42097 GNU Mailman before 2.1.35 may allow remote Privilege Escalation. For Debian 9 Stretch, these problems have been fixed in version 1:2.1.23-1+deb9u7. We recommend that you upgrade your mailman packages
