+Summary:     XSS in Internal Error messages in Bugzilla 2.16.7 and 2.18rc3
+CVE Name:    CAN-2004-1061
+Reference:   https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=272620
+Details:
+     It is possible to send a carefully crafted URL to Bugzilla designed to
+trigger an error message.  The Internal Error message includes javascript code
+which displays the URL the user is visiting.  The javascript code does not
+escape the URL before displaying it, allowing scripts contained in the URL to
+be executed by the browser.  Many browsers do not allow unescaped URLs to be
+sent to a webserver (thus complying with RFC 2616 section 2.3.1 and RFC 2396
+section 2.4.3), and are thus immune to this issue.
+    Browsers which are known to be immune: Firefox 1.0, Mozilla 1.7.5,
+Camino 0.8.2, Netscape 7.2, Safari 1.2.4
+     Browsers known to be susceptible: Internet Explorer 6 SP2,
+Konqueror 3.2
+     Browsers not listed here have not been tested.
+

+*** Bug fixes of note ***

+  privilege can now successfully use editusers.cgi.

+- The documentation has been updated to be more accurate in many places.
