    - -------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Package : man2hhtml
    Vulnerability : missing input sanitization
    Problem type : remote
    Debian-specific: yes
    CVE ID : CVE-2011-2770

    Tim Starling discovered that the Debian-native CGI wrapper for man2html,
    a program to convert UNIX man pages to HTML, is not properly escaping user-supplied input when displaying various error messages. A remote
    attacker can exploit this flaw to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS)
    attacks.


    For the oldstable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
    version 1.6f-3+lenny1.

    For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in
    version 1.6f+repack-1+squeeze1.

    For the testing distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in
    version 1.6g-6.

    For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
    version 1.6g-6.

    We recommend that you upgrade your man2html packages.
