SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA14940

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/14940/

CRITICAL:
Less critical

IMPACT:
Exposure of sensitive information

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
eGroupWare 1.x
http://secunia.com/product/3822/

DESCRIPTION:
Gerald Quakenbush has discovered a security issue in eGroupWare,
which may expose sensitive information to malicious people.

The problem is that if a mail with an attachment is composed, but not
sent, then the next mail in the same session includes the attachment
without this immediately can be seen by the user.

This may potentially cause sensitive information in attachments to be
disclosed to other recipients than intended without the user's
knowledge.

The security issue has been confirmed in version 1.0.0.006. Other
versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Check for "hidden" attachments by clicking "Attach File" before
sending mails.
