Debian Security Advisory DSA 1298-1                    security@debian.org

Package        : otrs2
Vulnerability  : missing input sanitising
Problem-Type   : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID         : CVE-2007-2524

It was discovered that the Open Ticket Request System performs
insufficient input sanitising for the Subaction parameter, which allows
the injection of arbitrary web script code.

The oldstable distribution (sarge) doesn't include otrs2.

For the stable distribution (etch) this problem has been fixed in
version 2.0.4p01-18.

The unstable distribution (sid) isn't affected by this problem.

We recommend that you upgrade your otrs2 package.


Upgrade Instructions
- - --------------------

wget url
        will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
        will install the referenced file.

If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for
sources.list as given below:

apt-get update
        will update the internal database
apt-get upgrade
        will install corrected packages

You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
footer to the proper configuration.
