Synopsis |
19 |
======== |
20 |
|
21 |
The SqWebMail web application, included in the Courier suite, is |
22 |
vulnerable to cross-site scripting attacks. |
23 |
|
24 |
Background |
25 |
========== |
26 |
|
27 |
Courier is an integrated mail and groupware server based on open |
28 |
protocols. It provides ESMTP, IMAP, POP3, webmail, and mailing list |
29 |
services within a single framework. The webmail functionality included |
30 |
in Courier called SqWebMail allows you to access mailboxes from a web |
31 |
browser. |

Description |
42 |
=========== |
43 |
|
44 |
Luca Legato found that SqWebMail is vulnerable to a cross-site |
45 |
scripting (XSS) attack. An XSS attack allows an attacker to insert |
46 |
malicious code into a web-based application. SqWebMail doesn't filter |
47 |
appropriately data coming from message headers before displaying them. |
48 |
|
49 |
Impact |
50 |
====== |
51 |
|
52 |
By sending a carefully crafted message, an attacker can inject and |
53 |
execute script code in the victim's browser window. This allows to |
54 |
modify the behaviour of the SqWebMail application, and/or leak session |
55 |
information such as cookies to the attacker. |
56 |
|
57 |
Workaround |
58 |
========== |
59 |
|
60 |
There is no known workaround at this time. All users are encouraged to |
61 |
upgrade to the latest available version of Courier. |
62 |
|
63 |
Resolution |
64 |
========== |
65 |
|
66 |
All Courier users should upgrade to the latest version: |
67 |
|
68 |
# emerge sync |
69 |
|
70 |
# emerge -pv ">=mail-mta/courier-0.45.6.20040618" |
71 |
# emerge ">=mail-mta/courier-0.45.6.20040618" |
