Description Vincent Danen 2010-11-07 02:07:36 UTC 
Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures assigned an identifier CVE-2010-4183 to
the following vulnerability:

Name: CVE-2010-4183
URL: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2010-4183
Assigned: 20101105
Reference: CONFIRM: http://htmlpurifier.org/news/2010/0915-4.2.0-released
Reference: CONFIRM: http://htmlpurifier.org/security/2010/css-quoting

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in HTML Purifier
before 4.1.0, when Internet Explorer is used, allow remote attackers
to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a crafted (1)
background-image, (2) background, or (3) font-family Cascading Style
Sheets (CSS) property, a different vulnerability than CVE-2010-2479.


Both Moodle and Sahana contain embedded copies of HTMLPurifier.  Current Moodle in Fedora (1.9.10) contains HTMLPurifier 4.2.0.  Current Sahana in Fedora (0.6.3) contains HMTLPurifier 2.1.1 and would be vulnerable to this issue and possibly other issues (2.1.1 is a few years old now).

Sahana should be updated to include the latest version of HTMLPurifier.
