Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.1.10.2020.0276
Category:Mageia Linux Local Security Checks
Title:Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2020-0276)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'mailman' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2020-0276 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'mailman' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2020-0276 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Updated mailman package fixes security vulnerability:

Up to mailman 2.1.29 when sending a file without a file extension (or an
unknown file extension) then the file is stored in the list archive with
the file extension .obj. Most web servers will try to assign a mime type
based on the file extension and entries in /etc/mime.types, where .obj is
usually not specified. This means the web server will send it out without
a mime type.
The browser will then try to guess the MIME type based on the file's
content (MIME-sniffing). If the content is HTML then it will execute any
javascript contained, leading to a potential cross-site scripting
vulnerability.

The mailman package has been updated to version 2.1.30, fixing this bug
and other issues. See the release announcement for details.

Affected Software/OS:
'mailman' package(s) on Mageia 7.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).
