The remote database server is affected by multiple vulnerabilities

Description

Versions of CouchDB earlier than 1.0.4, 1.1.x earlier than 1.1.2 or 1.2.x earlier than 1.2.1. It is therefore potentially affected by the following vulnerabilities :

- An error related to JSONP callbacks can allow an unspecified cross-site scripting attack. (CVE-2012-5649)

- An input validation error exists related to unspecified query parameters and the Futon UI that can allow DOM-based cross-site scripting attacks. (CVE-2012-5650)
