CentOS patches perl-HTML-Scrubber to address XSS vulnerability. Use dnf for improved HTML protection.
perl-HTML-Scrubber-0.15-1.fc21 - update to 0.15 perl-HTML- Scrubber-0.15-1.fc22 - update to 0.15 perl-HTML-Scrubber-0.15-1.fc23 - update to 0.15

Summary

If you wanna "scrub" or "sanitize" html input in a reliable an flexible

fashion, then this module is for you.

I wasn't satisfied with HTML::Sanitizer because it is based on

HTML::TreeBuilder, so I thought I'd write something similar that works

directly with HTML::Parser.

Update Information:

perl-HTML-Scrubber-0.15-1.fc21 - update to 0.15 perl-HTML- Scrubber-0.15-1.fc22 - update to 0.15 perl-HTML-Scrubber-0.15-1.fc23 - update to 0.15
