Package : ikiwiki
Vulnerability : cross-site scripting
Problem type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id(s) : CVE-2008-0808 CVE-2008-0809
Josh Triplett discovered that ikiwiki did not block Javascript in
URLs, leading to cross-site scripting vulnerabilities (CVE-2008-0808,
CVE-2008-0809).
For the stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in
version 1.33.4.
For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
version 2.31.1.
The old stable distribution (sarge) did not contain an ikiwiki package.
We recommend that you upgrade your ikiwiki package.
