Hey,

My name is Paul. I believe I discovered a very nice XSS in your
website sourceware.org. I coudnt find any other place to submit it so,
I just mailedy you here. you should have a bug submit page. :)

here is the payload

https://www.sourceware.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/libc/login/programs%0A%0A<script>alert(0);</script>%0A%0A/pt_chown.c?rev=1.12&content-type=text/html&cvsroot=glibc&only_with_tag=MAIN

your error page doesnt sanitize input. hoping to hearing from you :D

Thanks,
Paul

This is fixed by a blunt removal of the ancient cvsweb.cgi code, and
a blunt httpd-level redirection to /viewvc, for both sourceware.org
and gcc.gnu.org.

cvsweb vs viewvc (was: Sourceware Security Vulnerablity)

I followed up with some clean-ups on the GCC side.

How about
  http://sourceware.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/?cvsroot=sourceware
and
  https://gcc.gnu.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/wwwdocs/
however?  

These do not appear to be available via /viewvc.
