Synopsis

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

Description

Vinny Guido discovered that multiple input sanitising vulnerabilities in Fckeditor, a rich text web editor component, may lead to the execution of arbitrary code.

The old stable distribution (etch) doesn't contain fckeditor.

For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in version 1:2.6.2-1lenny1.
