DSA 1829-1: New sork-passwd-h3 packages fix cross-site scripting

Posted by Bob on: 07/11/2009 08:30 AM [ Print | 0 comment(s) ]

The Debian Security Team published a new security update for Debian GNU/Linux. Here the announcement:

Hash: SHA1

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
Debian Security Advisory DSA-1829-1 security@debian.org
http://www.debian.org/security/ Steffen Joeris
July 11, 2009 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Package : sork-passwd-h3
Vulnerability : insufficient input sanitising
Problem type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID : CVE-2009-2360
Debian Bug : 536554


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+etch1.

For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
version 3.0-2+lenny1.

For the testing distribution (squeeze), this problem will be fixed soon.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
version 3.1-1.1.


We recommend that you upgrade your sork-passwd-h3 packages.


Upgrade instructions
- --------------------

wget url
will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
will install the referenced file.

If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for
sources.list as given below:

apt-get update
will update the internal database
apt-get upgrade
will install corrected packages

You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
footer to the proper configuration.
