SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/36292/
DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in ViewVC, which can be exploited
by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks.
Input passed to the "view" parameter in viewvc.py 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 website.
NOTE: Additionally, input passed via invalid parameters is returned
in a potentially misleading manner. This can be used to e.g. trick
users into visiting a malicious site.
SOLUTION:
Update to version 1.0.9 or 1.1.2.
