DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in Pootle, which can be exploited
by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks.

Input passed to the "match_names" parameter via the "translate" URL
pattern to local_apps/pootle_store/views.py 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 an affected site.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 2.1.2.
