Package: phpgroupware-felamimail
Severity: grave
Version: 0.9.16.011-2.2
Tags: security patch

Hi,

The following CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id was published for 
PHPMailer, which affects the embedded copy shipped in 
phpgroupware-felamimail[0].

CVE-2007-3215[1]:
> PHPMailer 1.7, when configured to use sendmail, allows remote attackers to
> execute arbitrary shell commands via shell metacharacters in the
> SendmailSend function in class.phpmailer.php.

The patch for class.phpmailer.php can be found at [2]. However, it would be 
better if phpgroupware-felamimail just depended on libphp-phpmailer (also 
available in etch) and the include/require calls changed to use the copy 
provided by that package, to avoid shipping yet another embedded code copy.

If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the CVE id in 
the changelog entry.
