Description: From the Debian advisory:

Chris John Riley discovered that the TYPO3-wide used encryption key is generated with an insufficiently random seed resulting in low entropy which makes it easier for attackers to crack this key. (CVE-2009-0255)

Marcus Krause discovered that TYPO3 is not invalidating a supplied session on authentication which allows an attacker to take over a victims session via a session fixation attack. (CVE-2009-0256)

Multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via various arguments and user- supplied strings used in the indexed search system extension, adodb extension test scripts or the workspace module. (CVE-2009-0257)

Mads Olesen discovered a remote command injection vulnerability in the indexed search system extension which allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted file name which is passed unescaped to various system tools that extract file content for the indexing. (CVE-2009-0258)
