Background ========== The Horde Application Framework is a general-purpose web application framework written in PHP, providing classes for handling preferences, compression, browser detection, connection tracking, MIME, and more. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 www-apps/horde < 2.2.9 >= 2.2.9 Description =========== The Horde Team reported a potential XSS vulnerability. Horde fails to properly escape error messages which may lead to displaying unsanitized error messages via Notification_Listener::getMessage() Impact ====== By enticing a user to read a specially-crafted e-mail or using a manipulated URL, 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 browser content. Workaround ========== There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========== All Horde Application Framework users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-apps/horde-2.2.9" References ========== [ 1 ] CVE-2005-3570 http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2005-3570 [ 2 ] Horde Announcement http://lists.horde.org/archives/announce/2005/000231.html Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200511-20.xml Concerns? ========= Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us.
