Comment 1 Matthias Geerdsen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-06-20 12:09:55 UTC
I did not check if 2.1.7 is affected too, thus leaving the ranking at ?4
Could someone please check that and see if a fix is available in case it is affected as well.
Comment 2 Gunnar Wrobel (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-06-24 11:13:01 UTC
Added horde-turba-2.2.1, removed vulnerable horde-turba-2.2 as it was unstable on all arches. webapps-done.
Comment 3 Arnaud Launay 2008-12-10 20:20:16 UTC
BTW, is there a plan to stabilize horde-* to the newer versions ?

It is not. The vulnerable code is in contact.php which is not there in 2.1.7.
