Debian 10 Buster DLA-3652-1 Critical: Ruby-Sanitize XSS Threat

debian lts
Calendar Grey November 14, 2023
Dist Debian Esm H88
Enhance the ruby-sanitize package to address XSS vulnerabilities in Debian LTS. Critical security patch DLA-3652-1 information enclosed.
It was discovered that there was a potential cross-site scripting (XSS) in ruby-sanitize, a whitelist-based HTML sanitizer

Summary

Using carefully crafted input, an attacker may have be able to sneak
arbitrary HTML and CSS through Sanitize when configured to use the
built-in "relaxed" config or when using a custom config that allowed
"style" elements and one or more CSS "at"-rules. This could have
resulted in cross-site scripting (XSS) or other undesired behavior
if the malicious HTML and CSS were then rendered in a browser.

For Debian 10 buster, this problem has been fixed in version
4.6.6-2.1~deb10u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your ruby-sanitize packages.

For the detailed security status of ruby-sanitize please refer to
its security tracker page at:
https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/source-package/ruby-sanitize
