More information:

Jakub Palaczynski discovered that websvn, a web viewer for Subversion repositories, does not correctly sanitize user-supplied input, which allows a remote user to run reflected cross-site scripting attacks.

For the oldstable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in version 2.3.3-1.1+deb7u2.

For the stable distribution (jessie), this problem has been fixed in version 2.3.3-1.2+deb8u1.
