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.

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.
