The Debian Security Team published a new security update for Debian GNU/Linux. Here the announcement:

Debian Security Advisory DSA-1951-1 security@debian.org
http://www.debian.org/security/ Steffen Joeris
December 15, 2009 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Package : firefox-sage
Vulnerability : insufficient input sanitising
Problem type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id : CVE-2009-4102
Debian Bug : 559267

It was discovered that firefox-sage, a lightweight RSS and Atom feed
reader for Firefox, does not sanitise the RSS feed information
correctly, which makes it prone to a cross-site scripting and a
cross-domain scripting attack.


For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
version 1.4.2-0.1+lenny1.

For the oldstable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in
version 1.3.6-4etch1.

For the testing distribution (squeeze) and the unstable distribution
(sid), this problem has been fixed in version 1.4.3-3.


We recommend that you upgrade your firefox-sage packages.


Upgrade instructions
- --------------------

wget url
will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
will install the referenced file.

If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for
sources.list as given below:

apt-get update
will update the internal database
apt-get upgrade
will install corrected packages

You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
footer to the proper configuration.
