3. Problem description:

Mailman manages electronic mail discussion and e-newsletter lists.

A cross-site scripting (XSS) flaw in the driver script of mailman prior to

users. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)

issue by turning on STEALTH_MODE by default and using Utils.websafe() to
quote the html.
