Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

HTML::Scrubber is vulnerable to a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability when the comment feature is enabled. It allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a crafted comment.

For Debian 6 squeeze, this has been fixed in libhtml-scrubber-perl version 0.08-4+deb6u1.

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