Package : viewvc
CVE ID : CVE-2017-5938
Debian Bug : 854681

Thomas Gerbet discovered that viewvc, a web interface for CVS and
Subversion repositories, did not properly sanitize user input. This
problem resulted in a potential Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability.

For the stable distribution (jessie), this problem has been fixed in
version 1.1.22-1+deb8u1.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
version 1.1.26-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your viewvc packages.
