Is there any further news of this? I'm particularly interested, since
our (Debian) release is hopefully very near now, to get any
security-relevant changes in. One of my colleages from Debian has
extracted the XSS-related issues from MTOS-4.22-ja[1] but I would be
more confident in applying this if it came as patches from the same
source as the movabletype.org releases I'm currently packaging.
Extracting the security-relevant patches from the above release was
somewhat cumbersome and error-prone and as noted in the Debian bug
there were some spurious-looking changes that didn't look correct so I
suspect that release wasn't QA'd in the normal fashion?

Thanks,
Dominic.
