Debian DSA-1470-1 : horde3 - missing input sanitising

medium Nessus Plugin ID 30062

Synopsis

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

Description

Ulf Harnhammar 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.

Solution

Upgrade the horde3 package.

The old stable distribution (sarge) is not affected. An update to Etch is recommended, though.

For the stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in version 3.1.3-4etch2.
