Debian DSA-2853-1 : horde3 - remote code execution

high Nessus Plugin ID 72353

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

Pedro Ribeiro from Agile Information Security found a possible remote code execution on Horde3, a web application framework. Unsanitized variables are passed to the unserialize() PHP function. A remote attacker could specially-craft one of those variables allowing her to load and execute code.

Solution

Upgrade the horde3 packages.

For the oldstable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 3.3.8+debian0-3.

In the testing (jessie) and unstable (sid) distributions, Horde is distributed in the php-horde-util package. This problem has been fixed in version 2.3.0-1.
