Description Zombie Ryushu 2017-02-11 06:49:24 CET
Thomas Gerbet discovered that viewvc, a web interface for CVS and
Subversion repositories, did not properly sanitize user input. This
problem resulted in a potential Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability.

this problem has been fixed in version 1.1.26
Comment 1 Marja Van Waes 2017-02-11 13:48:49 CET
Thanks, Zombie

Assigning to all packagers collectively, since there is no registered maintainer for this package.

Btw, I don't see a freeze push request for 1.1.26, so setting version to Cauldron and "MGA5TOO"

Just testing by running /usr/share/viewvc/bin/standalone.py and then using a
browser to connect to http://localhost/viewvc/
