DESCRIPTION:
Two vulnerabilities has been reported in ikiwiki, which can be
exploited by malicious users to conduct script insertion attacks.

Input passed via the "author" and "authorurl" parameters to meta
directives when creating or editing a page is not properly sanitised
before being used. This can be exploited to insert arbitrary HTML and
script code, which will be executed in a user's browser session in
context of an affected site when the malicious data is being viewed.

The vulnerabilities are reported in versions prior to 3.20120516.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 3.20120516.
