Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.70981
Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu USN-1249-1 (backuppc)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:
The remote host is missing an update to backuppc
announced via advisory USN-1249-1.

Details:

It was discovered that BackupPC did not properly sanitize its input when
processing backup browser error messages, resulting in a cross-site
scripting (XSS) vulnerability. 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. This issue did not affect
Ubuntu 11.10. (CVE-2011-3361)
