    Synopsis: Updated mailman packages close cross-site scripting vulnerabilities
    Advisory ID: RHSA-2004:020-01
    Issue date: 2004-02-05
    Updated on: 2004-02-05
    Product: Red Hat Linux
    Keywords: xss
    Cross references:
    Obsoletes: RHBA-2003:179
    CVE Names: CAN-2003-0965 CAN-2003-0992
    - ---------------------------------------------------------------------

    1. Topic:

    Updated mailman packages that close various cross-site scripting
    vulnerabilities are now available.

    2. Relevant releases/architectures:

    Red Hat Linux 9 - i386

    3. Problem description:

    Mailman is a mailing list manager.

    Dirk Mueller discovered a cross-site scripting bug in the admin interface
    in versions of Mailman 2.1 before 2.1.4. The Common Vulnerabilities and
    Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2003-0965 to
    this issue.

    A cross-site scripting bug in the 'create' CGI script affects versions of
    Mailman 2.1 before 2.1.3. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project
    (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2003-0992 to this issue.

    Users of Mailman are advised to upgrade to the erratum packages, which
    include backported security fixes and are not vulnerable to these issues.

    4. Solution:

    Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
    relevant to your system have been applied.

    To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run:

    rpm -Fvh [filenames]

    where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade. Only those
    RPMs which are currently installed will be updated. Those RPMs which are
    not installed but included in the list will not be updated. Note that you
    can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directory *only* contains the
    desired RPMs.

    Please note that this update is also available via Red Hat Network. Many
    people find this an easier way to apply updates. To use Red Hat Network,
    launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:

    up2date

    This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate
    RPMs being upgraded on your system.

    5. RPMs required:

    Red Hat Linux 9:

    SRPMS:
    ftp://updates.redhat.com/9/en/os/SRPMS/mailman-2.1.1-5.src.rpm

    i386:
    ftp://updates.redhat.com/9/en/os/i386/mailman-2.1.1-5.i386.rpm

    6. Verification:

    MD5 sum Package Name
    - --------------------------------------------------------------------------

    40acda00aa52b23dbb068cd0bf48d898 9/en/os/SRPMS/mailman-2.1.1-5.src.rpm
    6efb83ea4e0658457ca3dd883f4d533d 9/en/os/i386/mailman-2.1.1-5.i386.rpm

    These packages are GPG signed by Red Hat for security. Our key is
    available from https://www.redhat.com/security/keys.html

    You can verify each package with the following command:
        
        rpm --checksig -v <filename>

    If you only wish to verify that each package has not been corrupted or
    tampered with, examine only the md5sum with the following command:
        
        md5sum <filename>
