The following packages are affected: awstats awstats-devel CVE-2008-3714 Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in awstats.pl in AWStats 6.8 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the query_string, a different vulnerability than CVE-2006-3681 and CVE-2006-1945. CVE-2008-5080 awstats.pl in AWStats 6.8 and earlier does not properly remove quote characters, which allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via the query_string parameter. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2008-3714.
