    DESCRIPTION
     Mailman[1] is a mailing list manager.
     
     This update fixes the following vulnerabilities for Conectiva Linux
     9:
     
     1) Cross site scripting vulnerability in the admin CGI script
     (CAN-2003-0965)[2]
     
     2) Cross site scripting vulnerability in the create CGI script
     (CAN-2003-0992)[3]
     
     3) Remote password retrieval vulnerability (CAN-2004-0412)[4]
     As mentioned in the 2.1.5 release announcement[5], previous mailman
     versions are vulnerable to a password retrieval attack which would
     give the attacker the password an user choose when he/she subscribed
     to a mailing list.
     
     For Conectiva Linux 8, the following vulnerability has been fixed:
     
     - CAN-2003-0991[6]: denial of service vulnerability caused by
     specific mail messages which would crash mailman.

    SOLUTION
     It is recommended that all mailman users upgrade their packages.
