| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Background |
| 25 |
========== |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |

Description |
| 39 |
=========== |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
A new cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in |
| 42 |
Squirrelmail-1.4.3_rc1 has been discovered. In functions/mime.php |
| 43 |
Squirrelmail fails to properly sanitize user input. |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
Impact |
| 46 |
====== |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
By enticing a user to read a specially crafted e-mail, an attacker can |
| 49 |
execute arbitrary scripts running in the context of the victim's |
| 50 |
browser. This could lead to a compromise of the user's webmail account, |
| 51 |
cookie theft, etc. |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
Workaround |
| 54 |
========== |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
| 57 |
|
| 58 |
Resolution |
| 59 |
========== |
| 60 |
|
| 61 |
All SquirrelMail users should upgrade to the latest stable version: |
| 62 |
|
| 63 |
# emerge sync |
| 64 |
|
| 65 |
# emerge -pv ">=mail-client/squirrelmail-1.4.3" |
| 66 |
