Debian DSA-899-1 : egroupware - programming errors

medium Nessus Plugin ID 22765

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in egroupware, a web-based groupware suite. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems :

 - CVE-2005-0870 Maksymilian Arciemowicz discovered several cross site scripting problems in phpsysinfo, which are also present in the imported version in egroupware and of which not all were fixed in DSA 724.

 - CVE-2005-2600 Alexander Heidenreich discovered a cross-site scripting problem in the tree view of FUD Forum Bulletin Board Software, which is also present in egroupware and allows remote attackers to read private posts via a modified mid parameter.

 - CVE-2005-3347 Christopher Kunz discovered that local variables get overwritten unconditionally in phpsysinfo, which are also present in egroupware, and are trusted later, which could lead to the inclusion of arbitrary files.

 - CVE-2005-3348 Christopher Kunz discovered that user-supplied input is used unsanitised in phpsysinfo and imported in egroupware, causing a HTTP Response splitting problem.

Solution

Upgrade the egroupware packages.

The old stable distribution (woody) does not contain egroupware packages.

For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version 1.0.0.007-2.dfsg-2sarge4.
