Background ========== Trac is a minimalistic web-based project management, wiki and bug tracking system including a Subversion interface. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 www-apps/trac < 0.9.3 >= 0.9.3 Description =========== Christophe Truc discovered that Trac fails to properly sanitize input passed in the URL. Impact ====== A remote attacker could exploit this to inject and execute malicious script code or to steal cookie-based authentication credentials, potentially compromising the victim's browser. Workaround ========== There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========== All Trac users should upgrade to the latest available version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-apps/trac-0.9.3" Note: Users with the vhosts USE flag set should manually use webapp-config to finalize the update.
