DESCRIPTION:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in Splunk, which can be
exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks
and cause a DoS (Denial of Service).

1) Certain unspecified input passed to the Splunk Web component is
not properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be
exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's
browser session in context of an affected site.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires that the
victim uses a non-RFC compliant browser.

This vulnerability is reported in versions 4.0 through 4.3.4.

2) Certain unspecified input passed to the Splunk Web component is
not properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be
exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's
browser session in context of an affected site.

This vulnerability is reported in versions 4.2 through 4.3.4.

3) An unspecified error within Splunkd when handling splunktcp inputs
can be exploited to render the service unusable.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires that splunktcp
inputs are enabled (disabled by default).

This vulnerability is reported in versions 4.0 - 4.3.4.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 4.3.5.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
