Debian Security Advisory DSA-088-1 [email protected]http://www.debian.org/security/ Wichert Akkerman

Package : fml
Problem type : improper character escaping
Debian-specific: no
The fml (a mailing list package) as distributed in Debian GNU/Linux 2.2
suffers from a cross-site scripting problem. When generating index
pages for list archives the `<' and `>' characters were not properly
escaped for subjects.
This has been fixed in version 3.0+beta.20000106-5, and we recommend
that you upgrade your fml package to that version. Upgrading will
automatically regenerate the index pages.
wget url
will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
will install the referenced file.
Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 alias potato
- ---------------------------------
Potato was released for alpha, arm, i386, m68k, powerpc and sparc.
