From debian-security-announce@LISTS.DEBIAN.ORG Sun Sep 10 23:51:13 2000 From: debian-security-announce@LISTS.DEBIAN.ORG To: BUGTRAQ@SECURITYFOCUS.COM Date: Sun, 10 Sep 2000 06:10:41 -0700 Reply-To: security@debian.org Subject: [BUGTRAQ] [SECURITY] New version of horde and imp released -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Debian Security Advisory security@debian.org http://www.debian.org/security/ Wichert Akkerman September 10, 2000 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Package : horde and imp Problem type : remote exploit Debian-specific: no imp as distributed in Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 suffered from insufficient checking of user supplied data: the IMP webmail interface did not check the $from variable which contains the sender address for shell metacharacters. This could be used to run arbitrary commands on the server running imp. To fix this horde (the library imp uses) has been modified to sanitize $from, and imp has been patched to improve checking of user input. The updated versions are horde 1.2.1-0 and imp 2.2.1-0, and we strongly recommend you upgrade both packages immediately. wget url will fetch the file for you dpkg -i file.deb will install the referenced file. Debian GNU/Linux 2.1 alias slink - --------------------------------- The slink release did not contain horde and imp. Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 alias potato - --------------------------------- Potato was released for the alpha, arm, i386, m68k, powerpc and sparc architectures.
