Debian DLA-737-1 : roundcube security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 95653

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

It was discovered that there was a vulnerability where a remote user could execute arbitrary commands in Roundcube, a webmail solution for IMAP servers, by sending a specially crafted email.

This was due to lack of sanitisation of the arguments to PHP's 'mail' function.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', this issue has been fixed in roundcube version 0.7.2-9+deb7u5.

We recommend that you upgrade your roundcube packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected packages.
