Vulnerability  : insufficient input sanitising
Problem type   : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id(s)      : CVE-2007-0175
Debian Bug     : 410568

"unsticky" discovered that b2evolution, a blog engine, performs
insufficient input sanitising, allowing for cross site scripting.

For the stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in
version 0.9.2-3+etch1.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
version 0.9.2-4.

We recommend that you upgrade your b2evolution (0.9.2-3+etch1) package.

Upgrade instructions
- --------------------

wget url
        will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
        will install the referenced file.

If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for
sources.list as given below:

apt-get update
        will update the internal database
apt-get upgrade
        will install corrected packages

You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
