Problem-Type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID : CAN-2004-1106

Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in gallery, a web-based

project identifies the following vulnerabilities:

CAN-2004-1106

Jim Paris discovered a cross site scripting vulnerability which
allows code to be inserted by using specially formed URLs.

CVE-NOMATCH

The upstream developers of gallery have fixed several cases of
possible variable injection that could trick gallery to unintended
actions, e.g. leaking database passwords.

For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in
version 1.2.5-8woody3.

For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in
version 1.4.4-pl4-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your gallery package.
