Detail

Michael Skibbe discovered that htdig, a WWW search system for an intranet or small internet, did not adequately quote values submitted to the search script, allowing remote attackers to inject arbitrary script or HTML into specially crafted links.

For the stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in version 1:3.2.0b6-3.1etch1

For the old stable distribution (sarge), this problem was not present.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 1:3.2.0b6-4.

We recommend that you upgrade your htdig package.

Open Source Vulnerability Database (OSVDB)

Id Description
40229 ht://Dig (htdig) htsearch sort Parameter XSS

ht://Dig contains a flaw that allows a remote cross site scripting attack. This flaw exists because the application does not validate the 'sort' variable upon submission to the htsearch 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.
