DESCRIPTION:
Aung Khant has reported two vulnerabilities in Eclipse, which can be
exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting
attacks.

Input passed via the URL to help/index.jsp and
help/advanced/content.jsp is not properly sanitised before being
returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML
and script code in a user's browser session in context of the bundled
Help Server site.

The vulnerabilities are reported in version 3.6.1. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Fixed in the SVN repository.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Aung Khant, YGN Ethical Hacker Group.
