Package        : mailman
Problem type   : cross-site scripting hole

Barry A. Warsaw reported several cross-site scripting security holes
in Mailman, due to non-existent escaping of CGI variables. 

These have been fixed upstream in version 2.0.8, and the relevant
patches have been backported to version 1.1-10 in Debian.
