>From the bug report:

There are several cross-site scripting vulnerabilities in LXR.  These
vulnerabilities could allow an attacker to execute scripts in a user's
browser, steal cookies associated with vulnerable domains,
redirect the user to malicious websites, etc.

This PR is to request a port upgrade. A VuXML entry will be committed shortly and therefore the port will be marked vulnerable until this PR is solved.

>How-To-Repeat:
N/A
>Fix:

Two actions are required:

1) Please upgrade to port to version 0.9.8 (fixes CVE-2009-4497)
2) Apply the following patch:
   http://lxr.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/lxr/lxr/lib/LXR/Common.pm?r1=1.63&r2=1.64

Thanks in advance!
Niels
