Synopsis |
16 |
======== |
17 |
|
18 |
The help viewer of the Horde Framework allows attackers to execute |
19 |
arbitrary remote code. |
20 |
|
21 |
Background |
22 |
========== |
23 |
|
24 |
The Horde Application Framework is a general-purpose web application |
25 |
framework written in PHP, providing classes for handling preferences, |
26 |
compression, browser detection, connection tracking, MIME and more. |

Description |
37 |
=========== |
38 |
|
39 |
Jan Schneider of the Horde team discovered a vulnerability in the help |
40 |
viewer of the Horde Application Framework that could allow remote code |
41 |
execution (CVE-2006-1491). Paul Craig reported that "services/go.php" |
42 |
fails to validate the passed URL parameter correctly (CVE-2006-1260). |
43 |
|
44 |
Impact |
45 |
====== |
46 |
|
47 |
An attacker could exploit the vulnerability in the help viewer to |
48 |
execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the web server user. By |
49 |
embedding a NULL character in the URL parameter, an attacker could |
50 |
exploit the input validation issue in go.php to read arbitrary files. |
51 |
|
52 |
Workaround |
53 |
========== |
54 |
|
55 |
There are no known workarounds 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-3.1.1" |
