Description

Horde IMP contains a flaw that allows a remote scripting attack. This issue is due to an input validation error in the IE HTML viewer. An Internet Explorer technology called HTML+TIME (based on SMIL)could be invoked to manipulate any attribute on an element via special control elements to execute malicious scripting code. This allows a remote attacker to create a specially crafted URL that would execute arbitrary code in a user's browser within the trust relationship between the browser and the server, leading to a loss of integrity.
