Cross-References:   CVE-2011-2186

   An update that fixes one vulnerability is now available.

Description:

   Users with commit access to repos served by git-web could
   cause cross site scripting (XSS) issues with XML files
   (CVE-2011-2186).

   Due to a differently formatted /etc/mime.types openSUSE is
   not affected by default.

   This update nevertheless turns on git-web's XSS protection
   mechanism to avoid similar problems in the future.

   To turn XSS protection off again put the following line in
   /etc/gitweb.conf:

   $prevent_xss = 0;

   To install this openSUSE Security Update use YaST online_update.

   - openSUSE 11.4:

      zypper in -t patch git-web-4756

   - openSUSE 11.3:

   To bring your system up-to-date, use "zypper patch".
