GNU Mailman 2.1.39, as bundled in cPanel (and WHM), in certain external archiver configurations, allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary OS commands via shell metacharacters in an email Subject line. NOTE: multiple third parties report that they are unable to reproduce this, regardless of whether cPanel or WHM is used.
GNU Mailman 2.1.39, as bundled in cPanel (and WHM), allows unauthenticated attackers to read arbitrary files via ../ directory traversal at /mailman/private/mailman (aka the private archive authentication endpoint) via the username parameter. NOTE: multiple third parties report that they are unable to reproduce this, regardless of whether cPanel or WHM is used.
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.
GNU Mailman before 2.1.35 may allow remote Privilege Escalation. A csrftoken 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).
GNU Mailman before 2.1.35 may allow remote Privilege Escalation. A certain csrftoken value is derived from the admin password, and may be useful in conducting a brute-force attack against that password.
GNU Mailman 2.x before 2.1.30 uses the .obj extension for scrubbed application/octet-stream MIME parts. This behavior may contribute to XSS attacks against list-archive visitors, because an HTTP reply from an archive web server may lack a MIME type, and a web browser may perform MIME sniffing, conclude that the MIME type should have been text/html, and execute JavaScript code.
Cross-site scripting vulnerability in Mailman 2.1.26 and earlier allows remote authenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via unspecified vectors.
An issue was discovered in GNU Mailman before 2.1.28. A crafted URL can cause arbitrary text to be displayed on a web page from a trusted site.
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the web UI in Mailman before 2.1.26 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a user-options URL.
Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in GNU Mailman before 2.1.14rc1 allow remote authenticated users to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via vectors involving (1) the list information field or (2) the list description field.
Multiple SQL injection vulnerabilities in Kjtechforce mailman beta1, when magicquotesgpc is disabled, allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via (1) the code parameter to activate.php or (2) the dest parameter to index.php.
Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures assigned an identifier CVE-2008-0564 to the following vulnerability:
Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in Mailman before 2.1.10b1 allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via unspecified vectors related to (1) editing templates and (2) the list's "info attribute" in the web administrator interface, a different vulnerability than CVE-2006-3636.

DISPUTED Format string vulnerability in Mailman before 2.1.9 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors. NOTE: the vendor has disputed this vulnerability, stating that it is "unexploitable."
CRLF injection vulnerability in Utils.py in Mailman before 2.1.9rc1 allows remote attackers to spoof messages in the error log and possibly trick the administrator into visiting malicious URLs via CRLF sequences in the URI.
Mailman before 2.1.9rc1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via unspecified vectors involving "standards-breaking RFC 2231 formatted headers".
Flaw bug created to hold information about an old flaw we knew something about. For more details see the MITRE CVE description.
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the private archive script (private.py) in GNU Mailman 2.1.7 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the action argument.
The attachment scrubber (Scrubber.py) in Mailman 2.1.5 and earlier, when using Python's library email module 2.5, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (mailing list delivery failure) via a multipart MIME message with a single part that has two blank lines between the first boundary and the end boundary.
Mailman 2.1.4 through 2.1.6 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a message that causes the server to "fail with an Overflow on bad date data in a processed message," a different vulnerability than CVE-2005-3573.
Scrubber.py in Mailman 2.1.5-8 does not properly handle UTF8 character encodings in filenames of e-mail attachments, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash).
Directory traversal vulnerability in the truepath function in private.py for Mailman 2.1.5 and earlier allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via ".../....///" sequences, which are not properly cleansed by regular expressions that are intended to remove "../" and "./" sequences.
The 55optionstraceback.dpatch patch for mailman 2.1.5 in Ubuntu 4.10 displays a different error message depending on whether the e-mail address is subscribed to a private list, which allows remote attackers to determine the list membership for a given e-mail address.
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the driver script in mailman before 2.1.5 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a URL, which is not properly escaped in the resulting error page.
The password generation in mailman before 2.1.5 generates only 5 million unique passwords, which makes it easier for remote attackers to guess passwords via a brute force attack.
Mailman before 2.1.5 allows remote attackers to obtain user passwords via a crafted email request to the Mailman server.
Mailman before 2.0.13 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via an email message with an empty subject field.
Unknown vulnerability in the mail command handler in Mailman before 2.0.14 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via malformed e-mail commands.
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the admin CGI script for Mailman before 2.1.4 allows remote attackers to steal session cookies and conduct unauthorized activities.
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the create CGI script for Mailman before 2.1.3 allows remote attackers to steal cookies of other users.
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in options.py for Mailman 2.1 allows remote attackers to inject script or HTML into web pages via the (1) email or (2) language parameters.
