Vulnerability Description
-------------------------
NetMRI contains a cross-site scripting (XSS) issue whereby portions of the GET 
request are echoed back in an error page. This allows scripting tags to be 
executed by the browser to perform XSS attacks. Such an attack would require 
convincing a user to click on a specially crafted link.

Solution Description
--------------------
On February 18, 2009, Netcordia released a patch named "CrossScriptPatch.gpg" 
to address this vulnerability in all currently supported versions of NetMRI 
through v3.0.1.  Customers can acquire the patch through the normal mechanisms 
or contact Netcordia Technical Support (support@xxxxxxxxxxxxx) for assistance.  
Additionally, the necessary changes will be incorporated in future versions 
beginning with NetMRI v3.0.2.
