Debian Security Advisory DSA 662-2 [email protected]http://www.debian.org/security/ Martin Schulze
March 14th, 2005 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package : squirrelmail
Vulnerability : several
Problem-Type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID : CAN-2005-0104 CAN-2005-0152
Debian Bug : 292714 295836
Andrew Archibald discovered that the last update to squirrelmail which
was intended to fix several problems caused a regression which got
exposed when the user hits a session timeout. For completeness below
is the original advisory text:
Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in Squirrelmail, a
commonly used webmail system. The Common Vulnerabilities and
Exposures project identifies the following problems:
CAN-2005-0104
Upstream developers noticed that an unsanitised variable could
lead to cross site scripting.
CAN-2005-0152
Grant Hollingworth discovered that under certain circumstances URL
manipulation could lead to the execution of arbitrary code with
the privileges of www-data. This problem only exists in version
1.2.6 of Squirrelmail.
For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in
version 1.2.6-3.
The correction in the unstable distribution (sid) is not affected by
this regression.
We recommend that you upgrade your squirrelmail package.
