The log files of mailman, residing in /var/lib/mailman/log and in
/var/log/mailman, and the log directory itself are created
world-readable by default. This discloses sensitive information about
list users, for example e-mail addresses and full names in the subscribe
log, to all unprivileged system users that have shell or filesystem
access.
