 Severity:   Less critical

 CVE:        CVE-2010-2080
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This Advisory covers vulnerabilities discovered in the OTRS core system.

Multiple Cross Site Scripting issues

  Missing HTML quoting allows authenticated agents or customers to inject
  HTML tags.

  This vulnerability allows an attacker to inject script code
  into the OTRS web-interface which will be loaded and executed
  in the browsers of system users.

Possible Denial of Service Attack

  Perl's regular expressions consume 100% CPU time on the server
  if an agents or customer views an affected article.

  To exploit this vulnerability the malicious user needs to send
  extremely large HTML emails to your system address.

Affected by these vulnerabilities are all releases of OTRS 2.3.x and 2.4.x up
to and including 2.4.7.

These vulnerabilities are fixed in OTRS 2.3.6 and OTRS 2.4.8.

Fixed OTRS releases can be found at:

 o http://otrs.org/releases/

As a workaround it's also possible to replace the following files by a version
that has been fixed.

o OTRS 2.4.x:
 o Kernel/Output/HTML/Standard/AgentStatsOverview.dtl v1.7.2.1
 o Kernel/Modules/AdminCustomerUser.pm v1.57.2.1
 o Kernel/Modules/AdminCustomerUserGroup.pm v1.18.2.2
 o Kernel/Output/HTML/Standard/AdminCustomerUserGroupForm.dtl v1.10.2.1
 o Kernel/Modules/CustomerTicketOverView.pm v1.50.2.1
 o Kernel/System/HTMLUtils.pm v1.12.2.3

o OTRS 2.3.x:
 o Kernel/Output/HTML/Standard/AgentStatsOverview.dtl v1.4.2.1
 o Kernel/Modules/AdminCustomerUser.pm v1.55.2.1
 o Kernel/Modules/AdminCustomerUserGroup.pm v1.16.2.2
 o Kernel/Output/HTML/Standard/AdminCustomerUserGroupForm.dtl v1.9.2.1

Also available via web http://source.otrs.org/.

security@otrs.org.

Many thanks to Aaron Roberts, Alexander Neufeld, Arnfinn Roland and
