Category:	Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:	Ubuntu USN-1026-1 (paste)
Summary:	Ubuntu USN-1026-1 (paste)
Description:	The remote host is missing an update to paste announced via advisory USN-1026-1. Details follow: It was discovered that Python Paste did not properly sanitize certain strings, resulting in cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities. With cross-site scripting vulnerabilities, if a user were tricked into viewing server output during a crafted server request, a remote attacker could exploit this to modify the contents, or steal confidential data, within the same domain. Solution: The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS: python-paste 1.7.2-4ubuntu1.2 In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes. http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=USN-1026-1 Risk factor : Medium
