    Package : mailreader
    Vulnerability : missing input sanitising
    Problem-Type : remote
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE ID : CAN-2005-0386

    Ulf Härnhammar from the Debian Security Audit Project discovered a
    cross-site scripting problem in mailreader, a simple, but powerful WWW
    mail reader system, when displaying messages of the MIME types
    text/enriched or text/richtext.

    For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in
    version 2.3.29-5woody2.

    For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in
    version 2.3.29-11.

    We recommend that you upgrade your mailreader package.

    Upgrade Instructions
    - --------------------

    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
