------------------------------------------------------------------------ Debian Security Advisory DSA-088-1 security@debian.org Debian -- Security Information Wichert Akkerman December 5, 2001 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Package : fml Problem type : improper character escaping Debian-specific: no The fml (a mailing list package) as distributed in Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 suffers from a cross-site scripting problem. When generating index pages for list archives the `<' ` and>' characters were not properly escaped for subjects. This has been fixed in version 3.0+beta.20000106-5, and we recommend that you upgrade your fml package to that version. Upgrading will automatically regenerate the index pages. wget url will fetch the file for you dpkg -i file.deb will install the referenced file.
