DESCRIPTION:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in Pubcookie, which can be
exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting
attacks.

Some unspecified input passed to the "mod_pubcookie" Apache module,
the ISAPI filter, and the "index.cgi" script isn't properly sanitised
before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute
arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context
of an affected site.

The vulnerability has been reported in versions 3.0.0, 3.1.0, 3.1.1,
3.2.0, 3.2.1, 3.2.1a, and 3.3.0. Version 1.x is reportedly also
affected ("mod_pubcookie" Apache module only).

SOLUTION:
Update to version 3.2.1b or 3.3.0a.
