Debian Security Advisory DSA-2092-1 security@debian.org

Package : lxr-cvs
Vulnerability : missing input sanitizing
Problem type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE Ids : CVE-2010-1625 CVE-2010-1738 CVE-2010-1448 CVE-2009-4497
Debian Bugs : 588137 585412 588036 575745
Dan Rosenberg discovered that in lxr-cvs, a code-indexing tool with a
web frontend, not enough sanitation of user input is performed; an
attacker can take advantage of this and pass script code in order to
perform cross-site scripting attacks.
For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
version 0.9.5+cvs20071020-1+lenny1.
For the testing distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
version 0.9.5+cvs20071020-1.1.
We recommend that you upgrade your lxr-cvs packages.
