The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems: CVE-2009-4214 A cross-site scripting vulnerability had been found in the strip_tags function. An attacker may inject non-printable characters that certain browsers will then evaluate. This vulnerability only affects the oldstable distribution.
