Vulnerability  : cross-site scripting
Problem type   : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id(s)      : CVE-2008-3714
Debian Bug     : 495432

Morgan Todd discovered a cross-site scripting vulnerability in awstats,
a log file analyzer, involving the "config" request parameter (and
possibly others; CVE-2008-3714).

For the stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in version
6.5+dfsg-1+etch1.

The unstable (sid) and testing (lenny) distribution will be fixed soon.

We recommend that you upgrade your awstats package.
