Debian Security Advisory DSA 909-1 security@debian.org

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Package : horde3
Vulnerability : missing input sanitising
Problem type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID : CVE-2005-3759
Debian Bug : 340323

Daniel Schreckling discovered that the MIME viewer in horde3, a web
application suite, does not always sanitise its input leaving a
possibility to force the return of malicious code that could be
executed on the vicitims machine.

The old stable distribution (woody) does not contain horde3 packages.

For the stable distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed in
version 3.0.4-4sarge2.

For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in
version 3.0.7-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your horde3 package.

Upgrade Instructions
- --------------------

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
