Debian: New horde2 packages fix several vulnerabilities
Summary
Null characters in the URL parameter bypass a sanity check, which
allowed remote attackers to read arbitrary files, which allowed
information disclosure.
CVE-2006-1491
User input in the help viewer was passed unsanitised to the eval()
function, which allowed injection of arbitrary web code.
The old stable distribution (woody) doesn't contain horde2 packages.
For the stable distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed in
version 2.2.8-1sarge2.
The unstable distribution (sid) does no longer contain horde2 packages.
We recommend that you upgrade your horde2 package.
