Detail
| Michael Brooks (Sitewatch) discovered a reflective XSS flaw in cgiirc, a web based IRC client, which could lead to the execution of arbitrary javascript. For the old-stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in version 0.5.9-3lenny1. For the stable distribution (squeeze), and unstable distribution (sid), this problem will be fixed shortly. We recommend that you upgrade your cgiirc packages. |

Open Source Vulnerability Database (OSVDB)
| Id | Description |
|---|---|
| 70844 | CGI:IRC interfaces/nonjs.pm R Parameter XSS CGI:IRC contains a flaw that allows a remote cross-site scripting (XSS) attack. This flaw exists because the application does not validate the 'R' parameter upon submission to the interfaces/nonjs.pm script. This may allow a user to create a specially crafted URL that would execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser within the trust relationship between their browser and the server. |
