Date: June 16, 2004
Updated: May 22, 2006
Bug(s): #53862
ID: 200406-11

Synopsis


An input validation vulnerability has been discovered in Horde-IMP.


Background


Horde-IMP is the Internet Messaging Program. It is written in PHP and
provides webmail access to IMAP and POP3 accounts.


Affected Packages

Package: www-apps/horde-imp
Vulnerable: <= 3.2.3
Unaffected: >= 3.2.4
Architectures: All supported architectures


Description


Horde-IMP fails to properly sanitize email messages that contain
malicious HTML or script code.


Impact


By enticing a user to read a specially crafted e-mail, an attacker can
execute arbitrary scripts running in the context of the victim's
browser. This could lead to a compromise of the user's webmail account,
cookie theft, etc.


Workaround


There is no known workaround at this time.


Resolution


All Horde-IMP users should upgrade to the latest stable version:
Code:
# emerge sync
