 Package        : mailman
 Vulnerability  : cross-site scripting, directory traversal
 Problem-Type   : remote
 Debian-specific: no
 CVE ID         : CAN-2004-1177 CAN-2005-0202

 Due to an incompatibility between Python 1.5 and 2.1 the last mailman
 update did not run with Python 1.5 anymore.  This problem is corrected
 with this update.  This advisory only updates the packages updated
 with DSA 674-2.  The version in unstable is not affected since it is
 not supposed to work with Python 1.5 anymore.  For completeness below
 is the original advisory text:

   Two security related problems have been discovered in mailman,
   web-based GNU mailing list manager.  The Common Vulnerabilities and
   Exposures project identifies the following problems:

   CAN-2004-1177

       Florian Weimer discovered a cross-site scripting vulnerability in
       mailman's automatically generated error messages.  An attacker
       could craft an URL containing JavaScript (or other content
       embedded into HTML) which triggered a mailman error page that
       would include the malicious code verbatim.

   CAN-2005-0202

       Several listmasters have noticed unauthorised access to archives
       of private lists and the list configuration itself, including the
       users passwords.  Administrators are advised to check the
       webserver logfiles for requests that contain "/...../" and the
       path to the archives or cofiguration.  This does only seem to
       affect installations running on web servers that do not strip
       slashes, such as Apache 1.3.

 For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in
 version 2.0.11-1woody11.

 We recommend that you upgrade your mailman package.

 Upgrade Instructions
 - --------------------

 wget url
         will fetch the file for you
 dpkg -i file.deb
         will install the referenced file.

 If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for
 sources.list as given below:

 apt-get update
         will update the internal database
 apt-get upgrade
         will install corrected packages

 You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
 footer to the proper configuration.
