Debian DLA-738-1 : spip security update

medium Nessus Plugin ID 95654

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

It was discovered that there was a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in spip, a website publishing engine, which allowed remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the 'rac' parameter.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', this issue has been fixed in spip version 2.1.17-1+deb7u7.

We recommend that you upgrade your spip 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 spip package.
