Ubuntu Update for awstats vulnerability USN-686-1. Morgan Todd discovered that AWStats did not correctly strip quotes from certain parameters, allowing for an XSS attack when running as a CGI. If a user was tricked by a remote attacker into following a specially crafted URL, the user's authentication information could be exposed for the domain where AWStats was hosted
