Thomas Gerbet discovered that viewvc, a web interface for CVS and Subversion repositories, did not properly sanitize user input. This issue resulted in a potential Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability.

For Debian 7 ‘Wheezy’, these problems have been fixed in version 1.1.5-1.4+deb7u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your viewvc packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
