Gentoo Linux Security Advisory
Title: Horde IMP: Security bypass (GLSA 200802-03)
Severity: normal
Exploitable: remote
Date: February 11, 2008
Bug(s): #205377
ID: 200802-03
Synopsis
Insufficient checks in Horde may allow a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions.
Background
Horde IMP provides a web-based access to IMAP and POP3 mailboxes.
Affected Packages
Package: www-apps/horde-imp
Vulnerable: < 4.1.6
Unaffected: >= 4.1.6
Architectures: All supported architectures
Description
Ulf Harnhammar, Secunia Research discovered that the "frame" and "frameset" HTML tags are not properly filtered out. He also reported that certain HTTP requests are executed without being checked.
Impact
A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted HTML e-mail, possibly resulting in the deletion of arbitrary e-mail messages.
Workaround
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
All Horde IMP users should upgrade to the latest version: Code: | # emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-apps/horde-imp-4.1.6" |
