Detail
| Earl Hood, author of mhonarc, a mail to HTML converter, discovered a cross site scripting vulnerability in this package. A specially crafted HTML mail message can introduce foreign scripting content in archives, by-passing MHonArc's HTML script filtering. For the current stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 2.5.2-1.3. For the old stable distribution (potato) this problem has been fixed in version 2.4.4-1.3. For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in version 2.5.14-1. We recommend that you upgrade your mhonarc package. 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.
