CVE-2011-3199 A possible HTML/javascript insertion vulnerability has been found in the DNS & MX section of the user panel. This update also fixes several vulnerabilities, for which no CVE ID has been assigned: It has been discovered that DTC performs insufficient input sanitising in the package installer, leading to possible unwanted destination directory for installed packages if some DTC application packages are installed (note that these aren't available in Debian main). DTC was setting-up /etc/sudoers with permissive sudo rightsto chrootuid. Incorrect input sanitizing in the package installer could lead to SQL insertion.
