Carefully crafted message headers can introduce cross site scripting when mhonarc is configured to display all headers lines on the web. However, it is often useful to restrict the displayed header lines to To, From and Subject, in which case the vulnerability cannot be exploited. This problem has been fixed in version 2.5.2-1.2 for the current stable distribution (woody), in version 2.4.4-1.2 for the old stable distribution (potato) and in version 2.5.13-1 for the unstable distribution (sid). We recommend that you upgrade your mhonarc package. wget url will fetch the file for you dpkg -i file.deb will install the referenced file. If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for sources.list as given below: apt-get update will update the internal database apt-get upgrade will install corrected packages You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the footer to the proper configuration.
