Debian DSA-1897-1 Critical: Horde3 Remote Code Execution Fix

Stefan Esser discovered that Horde, a web application framework providing
classes for dealing with preferences, compression, browser detection,
connection tracking, MIME, and more, is insufficiently validating and
escaping user provided input. The Horde_Form_Type_image form element
allows to reuse a temporary filename on reuploads which are stored in a
hidden HTML field and then trusted without prior validation. An attacker
can use this to overwrite arbitrary files on the system or to upload PHP
code and thus execute arbitrary code with the rights of the webserver.
