Debian DLA-1812-1 : doxygen security update

medium Nessus Plugin ID 125644

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Insufficient sanitization of the query parameter in search_opensearch.php could lead to reflected cross-site scripting or iframe injection.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', this problem has been fixed in version 1.8.8-5+deb8u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your doxygen packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected packages.
