Synopsis
=======
eGroupWare is affected by several SQL injection and cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities.
Background
=========
eGroupWare is a suite of web-based group applications including calendar, address book, messenger and email.
Affected packages
================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 www-apps/egroupware lt; 1.0.0.007 gt;= 1.0.0.007
Description
==========
Multiple SQL injection and cross-site scripting vulnerabilities have been found in several eGroupWare modules.
Impact
=====
An attacker could possibly use the SQL injection vulnerabilites to gain information from the database. Furthermore the cross-site scripting issues give an attacker the ability to inject and execute malicious script code or to steal cookie based authentication credentials, potentially compromising the victim's browser.
Workaround
=========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
=========
All eGroupWare users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "gt;=www-apps/egroupware-1.0.0.007"
