Package : gnatsweb
Vulnerability : cross-site scripting
Problem type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id(s) : CVE-2007-2808
Debian Bug : 427156
"r0t" discovered that gnatsweb, a web interface to GNU GNATS, did not
correctly sanitize the database parameter in the main CGI script. This
could allow the injection of arbitrary HTML, or javascript code.

We recommend that you upgrade your gnatsweb package.
