Insight

Insight

It has been discovered that Slash, the Slashdot Like Automated Storytelling Homepage suffers from two vulnerabilities related to insufficient input sanitation, leading to execution of SQL commands (CVE-2008-2231) and cross-site scripting (CVE-2008-2553). For the stable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed in version 2.2.6-8etch1. In the unstable distribution (sid), the slash package is currently uninstallable and will be removed soon. We recommend that you upgrade your slash package.
