Debian Security Advisory DSA-1808-1 security@debian.org
http://www.debian.org/security/ Steffen Joeris
June 01, 2009 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package : drupal6
Vulnerability : insufficient input sanitising
Problem type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID : no CVE id yet
Debian Bug : 529190 531386
Markus Petrux discovered a cross-site scripting vulnerability in the
taxonomy module of drupal6, a fully-featured content management
framework. It is also possible that certain browsers using the UTF-7
encoding are vulnerable to a different cross-site scripting
vulnerability.
For the stable distribution (lenny), these problems have been fixed in
version 6.6-3lenny2.
The oldstable distribution (etch) does not contain drupal6.
For the testing distribution (squeeze) and the unstable distribution
(sid), these problems have been fixed in version 6.11-1.1.
We recommend that you upgrade your drupal6 packages.
