Ubuntu Security Notice USN-6550-1
Ubuntu Security Notice 6550-1 - It was discovered that Smarty, that is integrated in the PostfixAdmin code, was not properly sanitizing user input when generating templates. An attacker could, through PHP injection, possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code. It was discovered that Moment.js, that is integrated in the PostfixAdmin code, was using an inefficient parsing algorithm when processing date strings in the RFC 2822 standard. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6012-1 - It was discovered that Smarty incorrectly parsed blocks' names and included files' names. A remote attacker with template writing permissions could use this issue to execute arbitrary PHP code.
### Impact An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary JavaScript code in the context of the user's browser session. This may lead to unauthorized access to sensitive user data, manipulation of the web application's behavior, or unauthorized actions performed on behalf of the user. ### Patches Please upgrade to the most recent version of Smarty v3 or v4. ### For more information If you have any questions or comments about this advisory please open an issue in [the Smarty repo](https://github.com/smarty-php/smarty)

moment is a JavaScript date library for parsing, validating, manipulating, and formatting dates. Affected versions of moment were found to use an inefficient parsing algorithm. Specifically using string-to-date parsing in moment (more specifically rfc2822 parsing, which is tried by default) has quadratic (N^2) complexity on specific inputs. Users may notice a noticeable slowdown is observed with inputs above 10k characters. Users who pass user-provided strings without sanity length checks to moment constructor are vulnerable to (Re)DoS attacks. The problem is patched in 2.29.4, the patch can be applied to all affected versions with minimal tweaking. Users are advised to upgrade. Users unable to upgrade should consider limiting date lengths accepted from user input.
### Impact Template authors could inject php code by choosing a malicous {block} name or {include} file name. Sites that cannot fully trust template authors should update asap. ### Patches Please upgrade to the most recent version of Smarty v3 or v4. ### Workarounds _Is there a way for users to fix or remediate the vulnerability without upgrading?_ ### References _Are there any links users can visit to find out more?_ ### For more information If you have any questions or comments about this advisory: * Open an issue in [the Smarty repo](https://github.com/smarty-php/smarty)
Smarty is a template engine for PHP, facilitating the separation of presentation (HTML/CSS) from application logic. Prior to versions 3.1.45 and 4.1.1, template authors could inject php code by choosing a malicious {block} name or {include} file name. Sites that cannot fully trust template authors should upgrade to versions 3.1.45 or 4.1.1 to receive a patch for this issue. There are currently no known workarounds.
Smarty before 3.1.39 allows a Sandbox Escape because $smarty.template_object can be accessed in sandbox mode.
