Debian DSA-1808-1 : drupal6 - insufficient input sanitising

medium Nessus Plugin ID 38980

Synopsis

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

Description

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.

Solution

Upgrade the drupal6 packages.

For the stable distribution (lenny), these problems have been fixed in version 6.6-3lenny2.

The oldstable distribution (etch) does not contain drupal6.
