Debian: DSA-1990-2: New trac-git package fixes regression
Summary
Stefan Goebel discovered that the Debian version of trac-git, the Git
add-on for the Trac issue tracking system, contains a flaw which
enables attackers to execute code on the web server running trac-git
by sending crafted HTTP queries.
The old stable distribution (etch) does not contain a trac-git package.
For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
version 0.0.20080710-3+lenny2.
For the unstable distribution (sid) and the testing distribution
(squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 0.0.20090320-1.
