Bug Description

Binary package hint: elog

I presume that all releases are affected by these, as there is little difference between them.

CVE-2008-0444:
"Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Electronic Logbook (ELOG) before 2.7.0 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via subtext parameter to unspecified components."

CVE-2008-0445:
"The replace_inline_img function in elogd in Electronic Logbook (ELOG) before 2.7.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via crafted logbook entries. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information."

Please do not assign the Ubuntu Security Team to bugs. The team is already subscribed, which is enough. Additionally, this package is in universe and is community supported. If you are able, perhaps you could prepare debdiffs to fix this by following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/UpdateProcedures.
