March 24, 2008 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package : serendipity
Vulnerability : insufficient input sanitising
Problem type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id(s) : CVE-2007-6205 CVE-2008-0124
BugTraq ID : 28298
Debian Bug : 469667
Peter Hüwe and Hanno Böck discovered that Serendipity, a weblog manager,
did not properly sanitise input to several scripts which allowed for
cross site scripting.
For the stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in version
1.0.4-1+etch1.
The old stable distribution (sarge) does not contain a serendipity package.
For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
version 1.3-1.
We recommend that you upgrade your serendipity package.
