NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream mailman package and not the mailman package as distributed by RHEL.
In GNU Mailman before 2.1.36, the CSRF token for the Cgi/admindb.py admindb page contains an encrypted version of the list admin password. This could potentially be cracked by a moderator via an offline brute-force attack.
