## Description

Locale module and dependent contributed modules in Drupal 6.x before 6.16
and 5.x before version 5.22 do not sanitize the display of language codes,
native and English language names properly which could allow an attacker to
perform a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack. This vulnerability is
mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role with the
'administer languages' permission.
