Debian: DSA 229-1 Critical: IMP SQL Injection Remote Attack

Using carefully crafted URLs a remote attacker is able to inject SQL code into SQL queries without proper user authentication.. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian Security Advisory DSA 229-1 This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. Debian -- Security Information Martin Schulze January 15th, 2003 Debian -- Debian security FAQ -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Package : imp Vulnerability : SQL injection Problem-Type : remote Debian-specific: no CVE Id : CAN-2003-0025 Jouko Pynnonen discovered a probem with IMP, a web based IMAP mail program. Using carefully crafted URLs a remote attacker is able to inject SQL code into SQL queries without proper user authentication. Even though results of SQL queries aren't directly readable from the screen, an attacker might. update his mail signature to contain wanted query results and then view it on the preferences page of IMP. The impact of SQL injection depends heavily on the underlying database and its configuration. If PostgreSQL is used, it's possible to execute multiple complete SQL queries separated by semicolons. The database contains session id's so the attacker might hijack sessions of people currently logged in and read their mail. In the worst case, if the hordemgr user has the required privilege to use the COPY SQL command (found in PostgreSQL at least), a remote user may read or write to any file the database user (postgres) can. The attacker may then be able to run arbitrary shell commands by writing them to the postgres user's ~/.psqlrc; they'd be run when the user starts the psql command which under some configurations happens regularly from a cron script. For the current stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 2.2.6-5.1. For the old stable distribution (potato) this problem has been fixed in version 2.2.6-0.potato.5.1. For the unstable distribution (sid)these problems have been fixed in version 2.2.6-7. We recommend that you upgrade your IMP packages. Upgrade Instructions -------------------- wget url will fetch the file for you dpkg -i file.deb will install the referenced file. If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for sources.list as given below: apt-get update will update the internal database apt-get upgrade will install corrected packages You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the footer to the proper configuration.

This was fixed upstream in Horde version 1.2.8 and IMP version 2.2.8. The relevant patches have been back-ported to version 1.2.6-0.potato.5 of the horde package and version 2.2.6-0.potato.5 of the imp package.

Debian: DSA-073-1 Severe: IMP Remote Exploits, Threats & Fixes

The Horde team released version 2.2.6 of IMP (a web based IMAP mailprogram) which fixes three security problems. Their release announcementdescribes them as follows:. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Debian Security Advisory DSA-073-1 This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. Debian -- Security Information Wichert Akkerman August 11, 2001 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Package : imp Problem type : 3 remote exploits Debian-specific: no The Horde team released version 2.2.6 of IMP (a web based IMAP mail program) which fixes three security problems. Their release announcement describes them as follows: 1. A PHPLIB vulnerability allowed an attacker to provide a value for the array element $_PHPLIB[libdir], and thus to get scripts from another server to load and execute. This vulnerability is remotely exploitable. (Horde 1.2.x ships with its own customized version of PHPLIB, which has now been patched to prevent this problem.) 2. By using tricky encodings of "javascript:" an attacker can cause malicious JavaScript code to execute in the browser of a user reading email sent by attacker. (IMP 2.2.x already filters many such patterns; several new ones that were slipping past the filters are now blocked.) 3. A hostile user that can create a publicly-readable file named "prefs.lang" somewhere on the Apache/PHP server can cause that file to be executed as PHP code. The IMP configuration files could thus be read, the Horde database password used to read and alter the database used to store contacts and preferences, etc. We do not believe this is remotely exploitable directly through Apache/PHP/IMP; however, shell access to the server or other means (e.g., FTP) could be used to create this file. This has been fixed in version 2:2.2.6-0.potato.1 . Please note you will also need to upgrade the horde package to the same version. wget url willfetch the file for you dpkg -i file.deb will install the referenced file.

Debian: Critical Advisory on Horde and Imp Moderate Remote Exploit

A vulnerability exists that could allow a user to run arbitrary commands on the server.. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Debian Security Advisory This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. Debian -- Security Information 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.
