[Backports-security-announce] Security Update for mono



Gerfried Fuchs uploaded new packages for mono which fixed the following
security problems:

CVE-CVE-2008-3422, Debian BTS #494406

  Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in the ASP.net
  class libraries in Mono 2.0 and earlier allow remote attackers to
  inject arbitrary web script or HTML via crafted attributes related to
  * HtmlControl.cs (PreProcessRelativeReference),
  * HtmlForm.cs (RenderAttributes),
  * HtmlInputButton (RenderAttributes),
  * HtmlInputRadioButton (RenderAttributes), and
  * HtmlSelect (RenderChildren).

CVE-CVE-2008-3906, Debian BTS #498894

  CRLF injection vulnerability in Sys.Web in Mono 2.0 and earlier allows
  remote attackers to inject arbitrary HTTP headers and conduct HTTP
  response splitting attacks via CRLF sequences in the query string.

For the etch-backports distribution the problems have been fixed in
version 1.9.1+dfsg-4~bpo40+1.

For the lenny and sid distribution the problems have been fixed in
version 1.9.1+dfsg-4.


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

If you don't use pinning (see [1]) you have to update the packages
manually via "apt-get -t etch-backports install <packagelist>" with the
packagelist of your installed packages affected by this update.

of installed  backports will be installed automatically:
