Package name: phpgroupware
Advisory ID: MDKSA-2003:077
Date: July 23rd, 2003
Affected versions: 8.2, 9.0, 9.1, Corporate Server 2.1

Problem Description:

Several vulnerabilities were discovered in all versions of
phpgroupware prior to 0.9.14.006. This latest version fixes an
exploitable condition in all versions that can be exploited
remotely without authentication and can lead to arbitrary code
execution on the web server. This vulnerability is being actively
exploited.

Version 0.9.14.005 fixed several other vulnerabilities including
cross-site scripting issues that can be exploited to obtain
sensitive information such as authentication cookies.

This update provides the latest stable version of phpgroupware
and all users are encouraged to update immediately. In addition,
you should also secure your installation by including the following
in your Apache configuration files:

   <Directory /var/www/html/phpgroupware>
     <Files ~ ".inc.php$">
       Order allow,deny
       Deny from all
     </Files>
   </Directory>
