It was discovered that there were two issues in viewvc, a web-based interface for browsing Subversion and CVS repositories. The attack vectors involved files with unsafe names; names that, when embedded into an HTML stream, could cause the browser to run unwanted code.



For Debian 9 stretch, these problems have been fixed in version 1.1.26-1+deb9u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your viewvc packages.
