Description |
37 |
=========== |
38 |
|
39 |
SquirrelMail is vulnerable to several cross-site scripting issues, most |
40 |
reported by Martijn Brinkers. |
41 |
|
42 |
Impact |
43 |
====== |
44 |
|
45 |
By enticing a user to read a specially-crafted e-mail or using a |
46 |
manipulated URL, an attacker can execute arbitrary scripts running in |
47 |
the context of the victim's browser. This could lead to a compromise of |
48 |
the user's webmail account, cookie theft, etc. |
49 |
|
50 |
Workaround |
51 |
========== |
52 |
|
53 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
54 |
|
55 |
Resolution |
56 |
========== |
57 |
|
58 |
All SquirrelMail users should upgrade to the latest version: |
59 |
|
60 |
# emerge --sync |
61 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=mail-client/squirrelmail-1.4.4" |
62 |
|
63 |
Note: Users with the vhosts USE flag set should manually use |
64 |
webapp-config to finalize the update. |
