Subject: jQuery 1.6.2 XSS CVE assignment

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

http://blog.jquery.com/2011/09/01/jquery-1-6-3-released/

Fix an XSS attack vector: User ma.la reported a common pattern that
many sites are using to select elements using location.hash that
allows someone to inject script into the page. This practice seemed
widespread enough that we decided to modify the selector recognition
to prevent script injection for the most common case. Any string
passed to $() cannot contain HTML tags (and thus no script) if it has
a ?#? character preceding them. See the ticket linked above for more
information and a test case.

Please use CVE-2011-4969 for this issue.
