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 |
| 30 |
================= |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 33 |
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected |
| 34 |
------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 35 |
1 www-apps/horde < 2.2.9 >= 2.2.9 |
| 36 |
|
| 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" |
| 65 |
