Debian: DSA-2092-1: New lxr-cvs packages fix cross-site scripting
Summary
Dan Rosenberg discovered that in lxr-cvs, a code-indexing tool with a
web frontend, not enough sanitation of user input is performed; an
attacker can take advantage of this and pass script code in order to
perform cross-site scripting attacks.
For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
version 0.9.5+cvs20071020-1+lenny1.
For the testing distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
version 0.9.5+cvs20071020-1.1.
We recommend that you upgrade your lxr-cvs packages.
