Debian DSA-627-1 : namazu2 - unsanitised input

medium Nessus Plugin ID 16105

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

A cross-site scripting vulnerability has been discovered in namazu2, a full text search engine. An attacker could prepare specially crafted input that would not be sanitised by namazu2 and hence displayed verbatim for the victim.

Solution

Upgrade the namazu2 package.

For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 2.0.10-1woody3.
