Package : horde3
Vulnerability : cross site scripting
Problem type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id(s) : CVE-2008-3823

Will Drewry discovered that the Horde, allows remote attackers to send
an email with a crafted MIME attachment filename attribute to perform
cross site scripting.

For the stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in
version 3.1.3-4etch4.

For the testing distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
version 3.2.1+debian0-2+lenny1.

We recommend that you upgrade your horde3 package.
