More information:

Toshitsugu Yoneyama of Mitsui Bussan Secure Directions, Inc. discovered that mailman, a web-based mailing list manager, is prone to a cross-site scripting flaw allowing a malicious listowner to inject scripts into the listinfo page, due to not validated input in the host_name field.
