Title:	Conectiva Security Advisory CLA-2001:410
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing updates announced in advisory CLA-2001:410. imp is a webmail system that uses the horde framework. The authors have released new versions of IMP and HORDE that address security vulnerabilities disclosed by giancarlo pinerolo (giancarlo@navigare.net) and Nick Cleaton (nick@cleaton.net), as well as one problem found during an internal audit. 1. A remote attacker could trick the server into fetching scripts from another host and then execute them. This could be used to get access to the server running this webmail system. 2. An attacker might also execute malicious javascript code in the browser of an user who is reading an email sent by the attacker with special javascript: encodings. 3. An attacker could make the server read a file called prefs.lang and execute it as PHP code. The attacker would have to be able to create that file first, which implies at least some sort of write access, such as one provided by a shell account, or ftp upload. Solution: The apt tool can be used to perform RPM package upgrades by running 'apt-get update' followed by 'apt-get upgrade' http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=CLA-2001:410 http://distro.conectiva.com.br/atualizacoes/index.php?id=a&anuncio=000410 Risk factor : High
