Debian Security Advisory DSA-1560-1 security@debian.org
http://www.debian.org/security/ Thijs Kinkhorst

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package : kronolith2
Vulnerability : insufficient input sanitising
Problem type : remote
Debian-specific: no
Debian Bug : 478121
"The-0utl4w" discovered that the Kronolith, calendar component for
the Horde Framework, didn't properly sanitise URL input, leading to
a cross-site scripting vulnerability in the add event screen.
For the stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in
version 2.1.4-1etch1.
The unstable distribution (sid) will be fixed soon.
We recommend that you upgrade your kronolith2 package.
