   * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting

-------- DESCRIPTION
---------------------------------------------------------

Linear Case module allows you to organize Closed Question documents in case
studies.

The module doesn't sufficiently sanitize user supplied text in some pages,
thereby exposing a Cross Site Scripting vulnerability.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a user
with permission to edit/create Linear Case nodes.

-------- VERSIONS AFFECTED

   * Linear Case 6.x-1.x versions prior to 6.x-1.3.

Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Linear Case
[4] module, there is nothing you need to do.

-------- SOLUTION
------------------------------------------------------------

Install the latest version:

   * If you use the Linear Case module for Drupal 6.x, upgrade to Linear Case
     6.x-1.3 [5]
