Synopsis
========

Multiple vulnerabilities in the Horde Application Framework can allow
for arbitrary files to be overwritten and cross-site scripting attacks.

Background
==========

Horde is a web application framework written in PHP.

Affected packages
=================

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 www-apps/horde < 3.3.5 >= 3.3.5
2 www-apps/horde-webmail < 1.2.4 >= 1.2.4
3 www-apps/horde-groupware < 1.2.4 >= 1.2.4
-------------------------------------------------------------------
3 affected packages on all of their supported architectures.
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Description
===========

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Horde:

* Stefan Esser of Sektion1 reported an error within the form library
when handling image form fields (CVE-2009-3236).

* Martin Geisler and David Wharton reported that an error exists in
the MIME viewer library when viewing unknown text parts and the
preferences system in services/prefs.php when handling number
preferences (CVE-2009-3237).

Impact
======

A remote authenticated attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities to
overwrite arbitrary files on the server, provided that the user has
write permissions. A remote authenticated attacker could conduct
Cross-Site Scripting attacks.

Workaround
==========

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==========

All Horde users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose =www-apps/horde-3.3.5

All Horde webmail users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose =www-apps/horde-webmail-1.2.4
