Synopsis |
| 17 |
======== |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
SquirrelMail is vulnerable to several cross-site scripting |
| 20 |
vulnerabilities and IMAP command injection. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Background |
| 23 |
========== |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
SquirrelMail is a webmail package written in PHP. It supports IMAP and |
| 26 |
SMTP protocols. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Affected packages |
| 29 |
================= |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 32 |
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected |
| 33 |
------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 34 |
1 mail-client/squirrelmail < 1.4.6 >= 1.4.6 |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
Description |
| 37 |
=========== |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
SquirrelMail does not validate the right_frame parameter in |
| 40 |
webmail.php, possibly allowing frame replacement or cross-site |
| 41 |
scripting (CVE-2006-0188). Martijn Brinkers and Scott Hughes discovered |
| 42 |
that MagicHTML fails to handle certain input correctly, potentially |
| 43 |
leading to cross-site scripting (only Internet Explorer, |
| 44 |
CVE-2006-0195). Vicente Aguilera reported that the |
| 45 |
sqimap_mailbox_select function did not strip newlines from the mailbox |
| 46 |
or subject parameter, possibly allowing IMAP command injection |
| 47 |
(CVE-2006-0377). |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
Impact |
| 50 |
====== |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
By exploiting the cross-site scripting vulnerabilities, an attacker can |
| 53 |
execute arbitrary scripts running in the context of the victim's |
| 54 |
browser. This could lead to a compromise of the user's webmail account, |
| 55 |
cookie theft, etc. A remote attacker could exploit the IMAP command |
| 56 |
injection to execute arbitrary IMAP commands on the configured IMAP |
| 57 |
server. |
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
Workaround |
| 60 |
========== |
| 61 |
|
| 62 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
| 63 |
|
| 64 |
Resolution |
| 65 |
========== |
| 66 |
|
| 67 |
All SquirrelMail users should upgrade to the latest version: |
| 68 |
|
| 69 |
# emerge --sync |
| 70 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=mail-client/squirrelmail-1.4.6" |
| 71 |
|
| 72 |
Note: Users with the vhosts USE flag set should manually use |
| 73 |
webapp-config to finalize the update. |
| 74 |
