    Several days ago, I reported a vulnerability in the EXT.DLL ISAPI
    of BadBlue. BadBlue 1.7.3 has now been released by the vendor
    (Working Resources) at http://www.badblue.com/down.htm for
    administrators to upgrade their systems.

    The vulnerability exists in how EXT.DLL sanitizes input for HTX/HTS
    pages. Any user input is inserted un-sanitized, making any HTX or
    HTS pages that display output vulnerable to attack.

    Although these may appear at first glance to be seperate vulnerabilities,
    the issue actually is not the pages, but in the ISAPI that processes
    them.

    Webmasters can test for the vulnerability by running a search query
    containing HTML/script (e.g, "<script>alert('vulnerable!');</script>"
    would do.) If the search results page displays a JavaScript Alert,
    your server could be used in attacks against visiting browsers.

    All administrators running BadBlue PE/EE 1.72 and earlier are at
    risk of this vulnerability being exploited on their servers and are
    urged to upgrade to BadBlue 1.73 available from the vendor at the
    above address.

    "The reason the mainstream is thought
    of as a stream is because it is
    so shallow."
