Problem type : remote
Debian-specific: yes
CVE ID : CVE-2011-2770
Tim Starling discovered that the Debian-native CGI wrapper for man2html,
a program to convert UNIX man pages to HTML, is not properly escaping
user-supplied input when displaying various error messages. A remote
attacker can exploit this flaw to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS)
attacks.
For the oldstable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
version 1.6f-3+lenny1.
For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in
version 1.6f+repack-1+squeeze1.
For the testing distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in

We recommend that you upgrade your man2html packages.
