  <description>
    <p>
    The Horde Team reported a potential XSS vulnerability. Horde fails
    to properly escape error messages which may lead to displaying
    unsanitized error messages via Notification_Listener::getMessage()
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="low">
    <p>
    By enticing a user to read a specially-crafted e-mail or using a
    manipulated URL, an attacker can execute arbitrary scripts running in
    the context of the victim's browser. This could lead to a compromise of
    the user's browser content.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All Horde Application Framework users should upgrade to the latest
    version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=www-apps/horde-2.2.9&quot;</code>
  </resolution>
