 Any thoughts on what to do to correct this problem?

1) Contact SWSoft, the providers of Plesk

2) Provide a more descriptive error message, otherwise no one can
possibly debug this for you. My best guess is that something in your
apache config file (/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf) changed that either has
disabled the reading the /etc/httpd/conf.d/mailman.conf file which
contains the ScriptAlias and Directory configuration for mailman, which
in turn tells apache about the existence of the mailman cgi URL/commands
and tells apache it has permission to execute this outside the document
root. I believe there is also a global flag in that may be present in
httpd.conf that enables or defeats cgi execution outside the document
root.

But really, this is not a mailman issue, its either an issue with Plesk
or your apache configuration (I know very little about how Plesk works
but I suspect it has a very strong interaction with apache configuration
which is why since Plesk is in the picture you need to consider Plesk
interaction).

One more suggestion: If up2date installed something that broke your
configuration then you might want to go looking for any files under /etc
with a .rpmnew or a .rpmsave extension. When rpm installs a new config
file for a package and it detects an existing config file that has been
modified locally it will respect the local edit of the config file and
install the new version of the file with a .rpmnew extension preserving
the local edit. If rpm thinks it needs to overwrite a file it will copy
the file with a .rpmsave extension. Looking for these files and
comparing them may provide a clue as to what changed and induced the new
behavior. The existence of either a .rpmnew or a .rpmsave could
represent delta in system configuration that needs closer examination.

HTH,
