Debian Security Advisory DSA 169-1                     security@debian.org

[ Resent since this advisory did not appear in the list archive.
Also, this is the real DSA 169-1. ]

Package        : htcheck
Vulnerability  : cross site scripting
Problem-Type   : remote
Debian-specific: no

Ulf Harnhammer discovered a problem in ht://Check's PHP interface.
The PHP interface displays information unchecked which was gathered
from crawled external web servers.  This could lead into a cross site
scripting attack if somebody has control over the server responses of
a remote web server which is crawled by ht://Check.

This problem has been fixed in version 1.1-1.1 for the current stable
distribution (woody) and in version 1.1-1.2 for the unstable release
(sid).  The old stable release (potato) does not contain the htcheck
package.

We recommend that you upgrade your htcheck package immediately.

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.
