Debian DSA-842-1 : egroupware - missing input sanitising

medium Nessus Plugin ID 19846

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

Stefan Esser discovered a vulnerability in the XML-RPC libraries which are also present in egroupware, a web-based groupware suite, that allows injection of arbitrary PHP code into eval() statements.

Solution

Upgrade the egroupware packages.

The old stable distribution (woody) does not contain egroupware packages.

For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version 1.0.0.007-2.dfsg-2sarge2.
