The remote host is missing updates announced in

Mailman versions 2.0.11 and older. The authors have been notified and

Using these vulnerabilities a remote attacker could obtain sensitive
information, such as authentication cookies or even the
administrative password of a specific mailing list, by crafting a
special URL with javascript in it and somehow having a list
administrator click on it.

by running 'apt-get update' followed by 'apt-get upgrade'
