EulerOS 2.0 SP5 : mailman (EulerOS-SA-2022-1277)

high Nessus Plugin ID 158470

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS host is missing multiple security updates.

Description

According to the versions of the mailman package installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

 - Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in the user options page in GNU Mailman 2.1.x before 2.1.23 allows remote attackers to hijack the authentication of arbitrary users for requests that modify an option, as demonstrated by gaining access to the credentials of a victim's account. (CVE-2016-6893)

 - GNU Mailman before 2.1.35 may allow remote Privilege Escalation. A certain csrf_token value is derived from the admin password, and may be useful in conducting a brute-force attack against that password.
 (CVE-2021-42096)

 - GNU Mailman before 2.1.35 may allow remote Privilege Escalation. A csrf_token value is not specific to a single user account. An attacker can obtain a value within the context of an unprivileged user account, and then use that value in a CSRF attack against an admin (e.g., for account takeover). (CVE-2021-42097)

 - In GNU Mailman before 2.1.38, a list member or moderator can get a CSRF token and craft an admin request (using that token) to set a new admin password or make other changes. (CVE-2021-44227)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected mailman packages.
