Debian DLA-2350-1 : php-horde-kronolith security update

medium Nessus Plugin ID 140049

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

In Horde Groupware, there has been an XSS via the Name field during creation of a new Resource. This could have been leveraged for remote code execution after compromising an administrator account, because the CVE-2015-7984 CSRF protection mechanism can then be bypassed.

For Debian 9 stretch, this problem has been fixed in version 4.2.19-1+deb9u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your php-horde-kronolith packages.

For the detailed security status of php-horde-kronolith please refer to its security tracker page at:
https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/php-horde-kronolith

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected php-horde-kronolith package.
