Description: 
 elog       - Logbook system to manage notes through a Web interface
Changes: 
 elog (2.5.7+r1558-4+sarge3) stable-security; urgency=high
 .
   * Security update:
     + Backport r1748-r1745 from upstream's Subversion repository:
       "Prevent crash if logbook 'global*' is accessed and a logbook
        'global*' is defined in config file"
       This bug was reported by OS2A team.  More details could be found in
       "#397875: ELOG Web Logbook Remote Denial of Service Vulnerability"
     + Backport the patch from Debian Security Audit team (r1749 in
       repository).  Thanks to Ulf Harnhammar.   Details could be found
       in #392016.  Short excerpt from this bug report is quoted below:
       "There are some incorrect handling of *printf() calls and format
        strings. They lead to ELOG crashing completely, with the potential
        of executing arbitrary machine code programs under some conditions.
        There are also some cross-site scripting issues."
     + HTML log entries are open to XSS vulnerabilites as demonstrated in
       #389361.  Though HTML mode had not been enabled by default in this
       version of Elog, add "HTML default = 2" option to elog.conf for extra
       safety.  Thanks to this option, the checkbox which enables HTML mode
       is not even shown during log entry.
