Vulnerability  : missing input sanitising
Problem-Type   : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID         : CAN-2004-1341
Debian Bug     : 281655

Nicolas Gregoire discovered a cross-site scripting vulnerability in
info2www, a converter for info files to HTML.  A malicious person
could place a harmless looking link on the web that could cause
arbitrary commands to be executed in the browser of the victim user.

For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in
version 1.2.2.9-20woody1.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in
version 1.2.2.9-23.

We recommend that you upgrade your info2www package.
