Hello Kurt, Steve, vendors,

  originally (2012-03-01), the following cross-site (XSS) flaws were
reported
against LDAP Account Manager Pro (from Secunia advisory [1]):

* 1) Input passed to e.g. the "filteruid" POST parameter when filtering
result
sets in lam/templates/lists/list.php (when "type" is set to a valid
value) is
not properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be
exploited
to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in
context of an affected site.

* 2) Input passed to the "filter" POST parameter in
lam/templates/3rdParty/pla/htdocs/cmd.php (when "cmd" is set to "export"
and
"exporter_id" is set to "LDIF") is not properly sanitised before being
returned
to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script
code in
a user's browser session in context of an affected site.

Please use CVE-2012-1114 for these two issues (XSS, same reporter)

* 3) Input passed to the "attr" parameter in
lam/templates/3rdParty/pla/htdocs/cmd.php (when "cmd" is set to
"add_value_form" and "dn" is set to a valid value) is not properly
sanitised
before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute
arbitrary
HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected
site.

Please use CVE-2012-1115 for this vu;n (XSS, but different reporter)

Later (2012-03-03), it was reported:
[3] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=662050#15

that subset (for 'export', 'add_value_form', and 'dn' variables) of these
security flaws is applicable also against the code of PhpLDAPadmin, a
web-based
LDAP client.

Patches from LDAP Account Manager, which are applicable to PphLDAPAdmin:

http://lam.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/lam/lam/templates/3rdParty/pla/lib/export_functions.php?r1=1.4&r2=1.5


[5]
http://lam.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/lam/lam/templates/3rdParty/pla/htdocs/export.php?r1=1.1&r2=1.2


[6]
http://lam.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/lam/lam/templates/3rdParty/pla/htdocs/add_value_form.php?r1=1.6&r2=1.7


I would swear, I have seen LDAP Account Manager CVE request on OSS
security mailing list
recently, but can't find it now quickly right now. Kurt, please prior
assigning CVE ids
to "LDAP Account Manager Pro" please double check the main CVE mitre
database, if these
didn't get a CVE identifier yet.

Wrt to PhpLDAPAdmin side -- I am not sure, what's the relation of the
code between LAM and
PLA (if PLA is using / embedding some code of LAM directly or if there
were also some
customizations on the side of PLA upon LAM code embedding / inclusion).
Hopefully Roland,
Fabio, Dmitry can clarify here, how much the PhpLDAPAdmin code is
different from LDAP
Account Manager code (if it's just overtaken LAM code or PhpLDAPAdmin
have also made
their own customizations to the code)?

Roland, Fabio, Dmitry, basically what we are searching an answer for is,
if the PhpLDAPAdmin
code is different enough it safe to be considered as a different code
base and separate
CVE identifier to be allocated for it? (IOW one for LDAP Account Manager
Pro issues,
the other for PhpLDAPAdmin issues)

Kurt, once the above doubt solved and you checked and confirmed, that
LDAP Account Manager
issue did not get CVE identifier in the recent past yet, could you
allocate those?

Thank you && Regards, Jan.
