Fedora 10 : python-markdown2-1.0.1.15-1.fc10 (2009-10377)

high Nessus Plugin ID 42268

Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing a security update.

Description

Update from 1.0.1.11 to 1.0.1.15, which fixes some issues, including these two security-related bugs: - [Issue 30] Fix a possible XSS via JavaScript injection in a carefully crafted image reference (usage of double-quotes in the URL). - [Issue 29] Fix security hole in the md5-hashing scheme for handling HTML chunks during processing. See http://code.google.com/p/python- markdown2/source/browse/trunk/CHANGES.txt for the full changelog.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected python-markdown2 package.
