Detail

Two cross site scripting vulnerabilities were been discovered in Mailman, a web-based mailing list manager. These allowed an attacker to retreive session cookies via inserting crafted JavaScript into confirmation messages (CVE-2011-0707) and in the list admin interface (CVE-2010-3089; oldstable only).

For the oldstable distribution (lenny), these problems have been fixed in version 1:2.1.11-11+lenny2.

For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 1:2.1.13-5.

For the testing (wheezy) and unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 1:2.1.14-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your mailman packages.

Description:	It was discovered that Mailman did not properly sanitize certain fields, resulting in cross-site scripting vulnerabilities. With cross-site scripting vulnerabilities, if a user were tricked into viewing server output during a crafted server request, a remote attacker could exploit this to modify the contents, or steal confidential data, within the same domain.

Open Source Vulnerability Database (OSVDB)

Id	Description
70936	Mailman Cgi/confirm.py Multiple Parameter XSS Mailman contains a flaw that allows a remote cross-site scripting (XSS) attack. This flaw exists because the application does not validate the 'full name' or 'username' fields in confirmation messages upon submission to the Cgi/confirm.py script. This may allow a user to create a specially crafted URL that would execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser within the trust relationship between their browser and the server.
68035	Mailman listinfo.py List Description Field XSS Mailman contains a flaw that allows a remote cross site scripting (XSS) attack. This flaw exists because the application does not validate the 'List Description' Field upon submission to the 'listinfo.py' script. This may allow a user to create a specially crafted URL that would execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser within the trust relationship between their browser and the server.
68032	Mailman HTMLFormatter.py List Description Field XSS Mailman contains a flaw that allows a remote cross site scripting (XSS) attack. This flaw exists because the application does not validate the 'List Description' Field upon submission to the 'HTMLFormatter.py' script. This may allow a user to create a specially crafted URL that would execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser within the trust relationship between their browser and the server.
