Detail

Synopsis

Multiple vulnerabilities in the Horde Application Framework can allow for arbitrary files to be overwritten and cross-site scripting attacks.

Background

Horde is a web application framework written in PHP.

Description

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Horde:

* Stefan Esser of Sektion1 reported an error within the form library when handling image form fields (CVE-2009-3236).

* Martin Geisler and David Wharton reported that an error exists in the MIME viewer library when viewing unknown text parts and the preferences system in services/prefs.php when handling number preferences (CVE-2009-3237).

Impact

A remote authenticated attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities to overwrite arbitrary files on the server, provided that the user has write permissions. A remote authenticated attacker could conduct Cross-Site Scripting attacks.

Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution

All Horde users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose =www-apps/horde-3.3.5

All Horde webmail users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose =www-apps/horde-webmail-1.2.4

All Horde groupware users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose =www-apps/horde-groupware-1.2.4

Title: DSA-1897-1 horde3 -- insufficient input sanitisation
Description: Stefan Esser discovered that Horde, a web application framework providing classes for dealing with preferences, compression, browser detection, connection tracking, MIME, and more, is insufficiently validating and escaping user provided input. The Horde_Form_Type_image form element allows to reuse a temporary filename on reuploads which are stored in a hidden HTML field and then trusted without prior validation. An attacker can use this to overwrite arbitrary files on the system or to upload PHP code and thus execute arbitrary code with the rights of the webserver. For the oldstable distribution, this problem has been fixed in version 3.1.3-4etch6. For the stable distribution, this problem has been fixed in version 3.2.2+debian0-2+lenny1. For the testing distribution, this problem has been fixed in version 3.3.5+debian0-1. For the unstable distribution, this problem has been fixed in version 3.3.5+debian0-1. We recommend that you upgrade your horde3 packages.

Id Description
58109 Horde Application Framework Numeric Preference Type XSS

Horde Application Framework contains a flaw that allows a remote cross site scripting attack. This flaw exists because the application does not validate numeric preference types upon submission. 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.
58108 Horde Application Framework MIME Viewer Text Part Rendering XSS

Horde Application Framework contains a flaw that allows a remote cross site scripting attack. This flaw exists because the application does not validate unknown text parts upon submission to the MIME viewer. 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.
58107 Horde Application Framework Form Library Image Form Field Arbitrary File Over...

Horde Application Framework contains a flaw that may allow a malicious user to overwrite local files. The issue is triggered when an unspecified error occurs. It is possible that the flaw may allow arbitrary overwrites of local files resulting in a loss of integrity.
