Synopsis |
16 |
======== |
17 |
|
18 |
The Horde Application Framework is vulnerable to a cross-site scripting |
19 |
vulnerability which could lead to the compromise of the victim's |
20 |
browser content. |
21 |
|
22 |
Background |
23 |
========== |
24 |
|
25 |
The Horde Application Framework is a general-purpose web application |
26 |
framework written in PHP, providing classes for handling preferences, |
27 |
compression, browser detection, connection tracking, MIME, and more. |
28 |
|
29 |
Affected packages |

|
37 |
Description |
38 |
=========== |
39 |
|
40 |
The Horde Team reported a potential XSS vulnerability. Horde fails to |
41 |
properly escape error messages which may lead to displaying unsanitized |
42 |
error messages via Notification_Listener::getMessage() |
43 |
|
44 |
Impact |
45 |
====== |
46 |
|
47 |
By enticing a user to read a specially-crafted e-mail or using a |
48 |
manipulated URL, an attacker can execute arbitrary scripts running in |
49 |
the context of the victim's browser. This could lead to a compromise of |
50 |
the user's browser content. |
51 |
|
52 |
Workaround |
53 |
========== |
54 |
|
55 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
56 |
|
57 |
Resolution |
58 |
========== |
59 |
|
60 |
All Horde Application Framework users should upgrade to the latest |
61 |
version: |
62 |
|
63 |
# emerge --sync |
64 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-apps/horde-2.2.9" |
