Several critical security flaws in the TYPO3 content management system have been patched with the recent update for Debian users.
Several remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in the TYPO3 web content management framework: CVE-2012-1606

Summary

Several remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in the TYPO3 web
content management framework:

CVE-2012-1606
Failing to properly HTML-encode user input in several places,
the TYPO3 backend is susceptible to Cross-Site Scripting. A
valid backend user is required to exploit these
vulnerabilities.

CVE-2012-1607
Accessing a CLI Script directly with a browser may disclose
the database name used for the TYPO3 installation.

CVE-2012-1608
By not removing non printable characters, the API method
t3lib_div::RemoveXSS() fails to filter specially crafted HTML
injections, thus is susceptible to Cross-Site Scripting.

For the stable distribution (squeeze), these problems have been fixed in
version 4.3.9+dfsg1-1+squeeze3.

For the testing distribution (wheezy) and the unstable distribution
(sid), these problems have been fixed in version 4.5.14+dfsg1-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your typo3-src packages.
