Synopsis

========

 

Multiple vulnerabilities in the Horde Application Framework may lead to

the execution of arbitrary files, information disclosure, and allow a

remote attacker to bypass security restrictions.

 

Background

==========

 

The Horde Application Framework is a general-purpose web application

framework written in PHP, providing classes for handling preferences,

compression, browser detection, connection tracking, MIME and more.

 

Affected packages

=================

Description

===========

 

Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in the Horde Application

Framework:

 

* David Collins, Patrick Pelanne and the HostGator.com LLC support

team discovered that the theme preference page does not sanitize POST

variables for several options, allowing the insertion of NULL bytes

and ".." sequences (CVE-2008-1284).

 

* An error exists in the Horde API allowing users to bypass security

restrictions.

 

Impact

======

 

The first vulnerability can be exploited by a remote attacker to read

arbitrary files and by remote authenticated attackers to execute

arbitrary files. The second vulnerability can be exploited by

authenticated remote attackers to perform restricted operations.

 

Workaround

==========

 

There is no known workaround at this time.
