Horde Form Shell Upload

Horde Groupware Webmail contains a flaw that allows an authenticated remote attacker to execute arbitrary PHP code. The exploitation requires the Turba subcomponent to be installed. This module was tested on Horde versions 5.2.22 and 5.2.17 running Horde Form subcomponent versions prior to 2.0.19.
