April 22, 2007
It was discovered that WebCalendar, a PHP-based calendar application,
performs insufficient sanitising in the exports handler, which allows
injection of web script.
Summary
The stable distribution (etch) no longer contains WebCalendar packages.
For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in
version 1.0.5-2.
We recommend that you upgrade your webcalendar package.
