A number of countermeasures are mentioned in the above website (patches).

I installed the twiki available in portage (~20041030) and it's vulnerable. On

This is public, opening.
web-apps: please bump.
Note that the package being only in ~ it won't generate a GLSA.

Thanks for reporting, both fixed in CVS.

[Comment 3 Thierry Carrez (RETIRED) 2005-09-16 09:44:18 UTC]

No GLSA, closing.

[Comment 4 Thierry Carrez (RETIRED) 2005-09-16 09:45:22 UTC]

Hm. no.
Renat: you should revbump so that people get the fix by normal upgrade.

[Comment 5 Renat Lumpau (RETIRED) 2005-09-16 15:58:09 UTC]

doh. fixed.

[Comment 6 Thierry Carrez (RETIRED) 2005-09-17 06:25:00 UTC]

Really closing
