"The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in
the USN-5121-2 advisory.

    USN-5009-1 fixed vulnerabilities in Mailman. This update provides the corresponding updates for Ubuntu
    20.04 LTS. In addition, the following CVEs were fixed:

    It was discovered that Mailman allows arbitrary content injection. An attacker could use this to inject
    malicious content. (CVE-2020-12108, CVE-2020-15011)

    It was discovered that Mailman improperly sanitize the MIME content. An attacker could obtain sensitive
    information by sending a special type of attachment. (CVE-2020-12137)

    Original advisory details:

    Andre Protas, Richard Cloke, and Andy Nuttall discovered that Mailman did not properly associate cross-
    site request forgery (CSRF) tokens to specific accounts. A remote attacker could use this to perform a
    CSRF attack to gain access to another account. (CVE-2021-42097)

    Andre Protas, Richard Cloke, and Andy Nuttall discovered that Mailmans cross-site request forgery
    (CSRF) tokens for the options page are derived from the admin password. A remote attacker could possibly
    use this to assist in performing a brute force attack against the admin password. (CVE-2021-42096)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
