| Title: | DSA-1882-1 xapian-omega -- missing input sanitisation | ||
| Description: | It was discovered that xapian-omega, a CGI interface for searching xapian databases, is not properly escaping user supplied input when printing exceptions. An attacker can use this to conduct cross-site scripting attacks via crafted search queries resulting in an exception and steal potentially sensitive data from web applications running on the same domain or embedding the search engine into a website. For the oldstable distribution, this problem has been fixed in version 0.9.9-1+etch1. For the stable distribution, this problem has been fixed in version 1.0.7-3+lenny1. For the testing and unstable distribution, this problem will be fixed soon. We recommend that you upgrade your xapian-omega packages. | ||

| Id | Description |
|---|---|
| 57962 | Xapian Omega Exception Reporting Unspecified XSS Xapian Omega contains a flaw that allows a remote cross site scripting attack. This flaw exists because the application does not validate unspecified variables upon submission to the unspecified script. This could allow a user to create a specially crafted URL that would execute arbitrary code in a user's browser within the trust relationship between the browser and the server, leading to a loss of integrity. |
