[$] The mystery of the Mailman 2 CVEs

Wednesday April 30, 2025. 07:06 PM , from LWN.net
Many eyebrows were raised recently when three vulnerabilities were announced
that allegedly impact GNU Mailman 2.1,
since many folks assumed that it was no longer being supported. That's
not quite the case. Even though version 3 of
the GNU Mailman mailing-list manager has been available
since 2015, and version 2 was declared (mostly) end of life
(EOL) in 2020, there are still plenty of users and projects still
using version 2.1.x. There is, as it turns out, a big difference between
mostly EOL and actually EOL. For example: WebPros, the company behind the cPanel server and web-site-management
platform, still maintains a port of
Mailman 2.1.x to Python 3 for its customers and was
quick to respond to reports of vulnerabilities. However, the
company and upstream Mailman project dispute that the CVEs are
valid.
