Fedora 24: viewvc Security Update
Summary
ViewVC is a browser interface for CVS and Subversion version control
repositories. It generates templatized HTML to present navigable directory,
revision, and change log listings. It can display specific versions of files
as well as diffs between those versions. Basically, ViewVC provides the bulk
of the report-like functionality you expect out of your version control tool,
but much more prettily than the average textual command-line program output.
Update Information:
Version 1.1.26 (released 24-Jan-2017) * security fix: escape nav_data name to
avoid XSS attack Version 1.1.25 (released 15-Sep-2016) * fix _rev2optrev
