Package        : info2www
Vulnerability  : missing input sanitising
Problem-Type   : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID         : CAN-2004-1341
Debian Bug     : 281655

Nicolas Gregoire discovered a cross-site scripting vulnerability in
info2www, a converter for info files to HTML.  A malicious person
could place a harmless looking link on the web that could cause
arbitrary commands to be executed in the browser of the victim user.

For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in
version 1.2.2.9-20woody1.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in
version 1.2.2.9-23.

We recommend that you upgrade your info2www package.


Upgrade Instructions
- --------------------

wget url
        will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
        will install the referenced file.

If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for
sources.list as given below:

apt-get update
        will update the internal database
apt-get upgrade
        will install corrected packages

You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
footer to the proper configuration.
