N/A Web form problem
>Description:
When querying a PR using the web it is possible for the contents
of a PR to be corrupted by the form as it does not escape HTML tags.
Noticed this when trying to extract the uuencoded data in PR #8484.
This may affect other PR's which contain code attached via uudecode
or MIME.
>How-To-Repeat:
$ lynx -dump http://www.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/query-pr-single.pl?number=8484 >asc.patch.uue
$ uudecode asc.patch.uue
$ gzip -d asc.patch.gz
gzip: asc.patch.gz: invalid compressed data--crc error
