It has been discovered that Slash, the Slashdot Like Automated
Storytelling Homepage suffers from two vulnerabilities related to
insufficient input sanitation, leading to execution of SQL commands
(CVE-2008-2231) and cross-site scripting (CVE-2008-2553).
For the stable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed in
