Subject: CVE request: XSS flaw in Ganglia web interface
Hello,
A cross-site scripting (XSS) flaw was discovered in the Ganglia web
interface:
https://github.com/ganglia/ganglia-web/issues/218
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=730507
Quoting from the original report:

ENT_QUOTES) . "'";
else

The fix does not apply to the older versions in EPEL (3.0.7 and 3.1.7),
but I did not test to see if they were affected.
Can a CVE please be assigned if one has not been already?
Thanks,
