Vulnerability Insight:
It was discovered that xapian-omega, a CGI interface for searching xapian databases, is not properly escaping user supplied input when printing exceptions.

For the oldstable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in version 0.9.9-1+etch1.

For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in version 1.0.7-3+lenny1.

We recommend that you upgrade your xapian-omega packages.
