3. Problem description:

The ht://Dig system is a Web search and indexing system for a small domain or intranet.

Michael Krax reported a cross-site scripting bug affecting htdig. An attacker could construct a carefully crafted URL which can cause a web browser to execute malicious script once visited. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project has assigned the name CAN-2005-0085 to this issue.

Users of htdig should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch, and are not vulnerable to this issue.

Id Description
13520 ht://Dig (htdig) config Parameter XSS

ht://Dig (htdig) contains a flaw that allows a remote cross site scripting (XSS) attack. This flaw exists because the application does not validate the 'config' parameter upon submission to an unspecified 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.
