Package : awstats
Date : August 9, 2009
Affected: Corporate 4.0, Enterprise Server 5.0
_______________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

A vulnerability has been found and corrected in awstats:

awstats.pl in AWStats 6.8 and earlier does not properly remove quote
characters, which allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site
scripting (XSS) attacks via the query_string parameter. NOTE:
this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2008-3714
(CVE-2008-5080).

This update fixes this vulnerability.
