Package : gallery
Vulnerability : cross-site scripting
Problem-Type : remote
Debian-specific : no
CVE Ids : CAN-2003-0614

Larry Nguyen discovered a cross site scripting vulnerability in
gallery, a web-based photo album written in php. This security flaw
can allow a malicious user to craft a URL that executes Javascript
code on your website.

For the current stable distribution (woody) this problem has
been fixed in version 1.25-8woody1.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed
in version 1.3.4-3.

We recommend that you update your gallery package.
