Package : mhonarc
Vulnerability : cross site scripting
Problem-Type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id : CAN-2002-1388
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

If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for
sources.list as given below:

You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
footer to the proper configuration.
