    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.
