Markus Petrux discovered a cross-site scripting vulnerability in the
taxonomy module of drupal6, a fully-featured content management
framework. It is also possible that certain browsers using the UTF-7
encoding are vulnerable to a different cross-site scripting
vulnerability.
For the stable distribution (lenny), these problems have been fixed in
version 6.6-3lenny2.
The oldstable distribution (etch) does not contain drupal6.
For the testing distribution (squeeze) and the unstable distribution
(sid), these problems have been fixed in version 6.11-1.1.
We recommend that you upgrade your drupal6 packages.
