Hi,

Note filling this mainly for tracking and for the "regression" from
stable. Given that, if no upload happens at point release time it
might just prop-up from stable to unstable and so include the fix as
well for bullseye.

The following vulnerability was published for mailman.

CVE-2020-12137[0]:
| GNU Mailman 2.x before 2.1.30 uses the .obj extension for scrubbed
| application/octet-stream MIME parts. This behavior may contribute to
| XSS attacks against list-archive visitors, because an HTTP reply from
| an archive web server may lack a MIME type, and a web browser may
| perform MIME sniffing, conclude that the MIME type should have been
| text/html, and execute JavaScript code.


If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.
