Description Lubomir Kundrak 2008-03-24 10:33:11 UTC
A vulnerability has been reported in Namazu, which can be exploited
by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks.

Input passed in certain character encodings (e.g. UTF-7) to
namazu.cgi is not properly sanitised before being returned to the
user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code
in a user's browser session in context of an affected site.

The vulnerability is reported in versions prior to 2.0.18.

Comment 8 Jonathan Baron 2008-03-27 13:43:24 UTC
Update won't work because of missing dependencies:
Error: Missing Dependency: perl(time.pl) is needed by package namazu
Error: Missing Dependency: perl(util.pl) is needed by package namazu
Error: Missing Dependency: perl(document.pl) is needed by package namazu
Error: Missing Dependency: perl(nmzidx.pl) is needed by package namazu
Error: Missing Dependency: perl(var.pl) is needed by package namazu
Error: Missing Dependency: perl(conf.pl) is needed by package namazu
and likewise for namazu.cgi
This is in Fedora 8.

See section on filtering unwanted requires on details how to fix this.

Comment 10 Akira TAGOH 2008-03-28 11:20:37 UTC
Actually no. this was caused by following that. rpmbuild for F-8 seems not
looking into __perl_requires, but __find_requires. I have to revert that change
anyway.
