Synopsis |
| 19 |
======== |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
SquirrelMail is subject to several XSS and one SQL injection |
| 22 |
vulnerability. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Background |
| 25 |
========== |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
SquirrelMail is a webmail package written in PHP. It supports IMAP and |
| 28 |
SMTP, and can optionally be installed with SQL support. |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
Affected packages |
| 31 |
================= |

Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected |
| 35 |

| 36 |
1 net-mail/squirrelmail <= 1.4.2 >= 1.4.3_rc1 |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
Description |
| 39 |
=========== |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
Several unspecified cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities and a |
| 42 |
well hidden SQL injection vulnerability were found. An XSS attack |
| 43 |
allows an attacker to insert malicious code into a web-based |
| 44 |
application. SquirrelMail does not check for code when parsing |
| 45 |
variables received via the URL query string. |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
Impact |
| 48 |
====== |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
One of the XSS vulnerabilities could be exploited by an attacker to |
| 51 |
steal cookie-based authentication credentials from the user's browser. |
| 52 |
The SQL injection issue could potentially be used by an attacker to run |
| 53 |
arbitrary SQL commands inside the SquirrelMail database with privileges |
| 54 |
of the SquirrelMail database user. |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
Workaround |
| 57 |
========== |
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
There is no known workaround at this time. All users are advised to |
| 60 |
upgrade to version 1.4.3_rc1 or higher of SquirrelMail. |
| 61 |
|
| 62 |
Resolution |
| 63 |
========== |
| 64 |
|
| 65 |
All SquirrelMail users should upgrade to the latest stable version: |
| 66 |
|
| 67 |
# emerge sync |
| 68 |
|
| 69 |
# emerge -pv ">=net-mail/squirrelmail-1.4.3_rc1" |
| 70 |
# emerge ">=net-mail/squirrelmail-1.4.3_rc1" |
| 71 |
