Debian DSA-2455-1 : typo3-src - missing input sanitization

medium Nessus Plugin ID 58817

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

Helmut Hummel of the TYPO3 security team discovered that TYPO3, a web content management system, is not properly sanitizing output of the exception handler. This allows an attacker to conduct cross-site scripting attacks if either third-party extensions are installed that do not sanitize this output on their own or in the presence of extensions using the extbase MVC framework which accept objects to controller actions.

Solution

Upgrade the typo3-src packages.

For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 4.3.9+dfsg1-1+squeeze4.
