Yes. Remote code execution. I don't know the details. horde and horde2
are not affected, horde3 all versions up to 3.1.1 and 3.0.10 are
affected.

Not affected: contains only horde.

Affected. Even the just uploaded 3.1 (currently in incoming) is
affected.

To fix sarge: The diff between upstream 3.0.9 and 3.0.10 is the best
starting point I know of; the changelog is:

    * Fix for remote code execution vulnerability in the help viewer,
      discovered by Jan Schneider from the Horde team.
    * Fixed a few minor bugs.

Fix of sid/etch should happen by upload of upstream 3.1.1.

Personally, I have a security update to Mailman to prepare, and then I
can turn to Horde3. Which means I *might* be able to do something
Thursday evening (today is not totally excluded); if not then the next
probable Debian-slot is Sunday or Monday.

I live in UTC+2, but my biological clock is still at UTC+1.


In the team, opal has been active lately, so he may surprise us with
an update soon.
