Detail

The previous update introduced a regression in main.php, causing the module to fail. This update corrects the flaw. . For reference the original advisory text is below.

It was discovered that sork-passwd-h3, a Horde3 module for users to change their password, is prone to a cross-site scripting attack via the backend parameter.

For the oldstable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in version 3.0-2+etch2.

For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in version 3.0-2+lenny2.

Id Description
55665 Passwd Module for Horde passwd/main.php backend Parameter XSS

Passwd Module for Horde contains a flaw that allows a remote cross site scripting attack. This flaw exists because the application does not validate the back-end parameter upon submission to the passwd/main.php script. This could allow a user to create a specially crafted URL that would execute arbitrary code in a user's browser within the trust relationship between the browser and the server, leading to a loss of integrity.
