Debian DSA-909-1 : horde3 - missing input sanitising

medium Nessus Plugin ID 22775

Synopsis

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

Description

Daniel Schreckling discovered that the MIME viewer in horde3, a web application suite, does not always sanitise its input leaving a possibility to force the return of malicious code that could be executed on the victims machine.

Solution

Upgrade the horde3 package.

The old stable distribution (woody) does not contain horde3 packages.

For the stable distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed in version 3.0.4-4sarge2.
