Synopsis

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

Description

Several vulnerabilities have been found in horde3, the horde web application framework. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems :

- CVE-2009-3237 It has been discovered that horde3 is prone to cross-site scripting attacks via crafted number preferences or inline MIME text parts when using text/plain as MIME type. For lenny this issue was already fixed, but as an additional security precaution, the display of inline text was disabled in the configuration file.

- CVE-2009-3701 It has been discovered that the horde3 administration interface is prone to cross-site scripting attacks due to the use of the PHP_SELF variable. This issue can only be exploited by authenticated administrators.

- CVE-2009-4363 It has been discovered that horde3 is prone to several cross-site scripting attacks via crafted data:text/html values in HTML messages.

Solution

Upgrade the horde3 packages.

For the stable distribution (lenny), these problems have been fixed in version 3.2.2+debian0-2+lenny2.

For the oldstable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed in version 3.1.3-4etch7.
