    calendar, address book, messenger and email.

  <description>
    <p>
    A vulnerability has been reported in FCKEditor due to the way that file
    uploads are handled in the file
    editor/filemanager/upload/php/upload.php when a filename has multiple
    file extensions (CVE-2008-2041). Another vulnerability exists in the
    _bad_protocol_once() function in the file
    phpgwapi/inc/class.kses.inc.php, which allows remote attackers to
    bypass HTML filtering (CVE-2008-1502).
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="high">
    <p>
    The first vulnerability can be exploited to upload malicious files and
    execute arbitrary PHP code provided that a directory is writable by the
    webserver. The second vulnerability can be exploited by remote
    attackers via a specially crafted URL in order to conduct cross-site
    scripting attacks.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All eGroupWare users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=www-apps/egroupware-1.4.004&quot;</code>
  </resolution>
