Package : webcalendar
Vulnerability : missing input sanitising
Problem-Type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID : CVE-2006-6669
It was discovered that WebCalendar, a PHP-based calendar application,
performs insufficient sanitising in the exports handler, which allows
injection of web script.
For the old stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in
version 0.9.45-4sarge7.
The stable distribution (etch) no longer contains WebCalendar packages.

version 1.0.5-2.
We recommend that you upgrade your webcalendar package.
