    Package        : lxr
    Vulnerability  : missing filename sanitizing
    Problem-Type   : remote
    Debian-specific: no
    
    Upstream developers of lxr, a general hypertext cross-referencing
    tool, have been alerted of a vulnerability that allows a remote
    attacker to read arbitrary files on the host system as user www-data.
    This could disclose local files that were not meant to be shared with
    the public.
    
    For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been
    fixed in version 0.3-3.
    
    The old stable distribution (potato) is not affected since it does not
    contain an lxr package.
    
    For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been
    fixed in version 0.3-4.
    
    We recommend that you upgrade your lxr package.
