Multiple directory traversal vulnerabilities in the cssgen contrib module in GeSHi before 1.0.8.11 allow remote attackers to read arbitrary files via a .. (dot dot) in the (1) geshi-path or (2) geshi-lang-path parameter.

Update to 1.0.8.11 :

  - Fix for CVE-2012-3521 : Remote directory traversal and     information disclosure (local file inclusion) in the     contrib module.

    - Fix for CVE-2012-3522 : Non-persistent XSS in langwiz       contrib script.

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.
