Debian Security Advisory DSA-1470-1 security@debian.org
http://www.debian.org/security/ Moritz Muehlenhoff
January 20, 2008 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package : horde3
Vulnerability : missing input sanitising
Problem type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id(s) : CVE-2007-6018
Ulf Harnhammer discovered that the HTML filter of the Horde web
application framework performed insufficient input sanitising, which
may lead to the deletion of emails if a user is tricked into viewing
a malformed email inside the Imp client.
This update also provides backported bugfixes to the cross-site
scripting filter and the user management API from the latest Horde
release 3.1.6.
For the stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in
version 3.1.3-4etch2.
The old stable distribution (sarge) is not affected. An update to
Etch is recommended, though.
We recommend that you upgrade your horde3 package.
