Hi,

A security issue has been reported against websvn:
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in filedetails.php in WebSVN 2.0rc4, 
and possibly earlier, allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script 
or HTML via the path parameter. NOTE: the provenance of this information is 
unknown; the details are obtained solely from third party information.

It has been fixed in the new 2.0 release. This is CVE-2007-3056, please 
mention it in the changelog when uploading a fixed version.

This seems to be the fix itself:
http://websvn.tigris.org/source/browse/websvn/trunk/filedetails.php?rev=581&r1=569&r2=581

Since websvn does not have any cookie-based authentication of itself, I don't 
think this warrants updates to stable/oldstable. But still it's an important 
bug to fix.


thanks
Thijs
