    Summary: Updated owncloud packages fix security vulnerability

    Details: A Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the OCS discovery provider in ownCloud Server before 8.0.10 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the URL resulting in a reflected Cross-Site-Scripting (CVE-2016-1498). ownCloud Server before 8.0.10 allows remote authenticated users to obtain sensitive information from a directory listing and possibly cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via the force parameter to index.php/apps/files/ajax/scan.php (CVE-2015-1499). ownCloud Server before 8.0.10, when the "file_versions" application is enabled, does not properly check the return value of getOwner, which allows remote authenticated users to read the files with names starting with ".v" and belonging to a sharing user by leveraging an incoming share (CVE-2016-1500).
