Title: python-markdown2 Multiple Security Vulnerabilities
Severity: HIGH
Description:
Markdown is a text-to-HTML filtering application; 'python-markdown2' is a Python-based implementation of Markdown.
The module is prone to these vulnerabilities:
1. A cross-site scripting vulnerability occurs because the application fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied input. An attacker can exploit this issue via a crafted image reference to run arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site. This may let the attacker steal cookie-based authentication credentials and launch other attacks.
2. An unspecified security affects the md5-hashing scheme for handling HTML chunks. The impact of this issue is unknown.
These issues affects python-markdown2 1.0.1.14 and earlier.
Affected Products:
- RedHat Fedora 10
- RedHat Fedora 11
- python-markdown2 python-markdown2 1.0.1.14
