Detail
| The security update for Squirrelmail (DSA 191-1) unfortunately introduced a bug in the options page. This problem is fixed in version 1.2.6-1.2 the current stable distribution (woody). The unstable distribution (sid) and the old stable distribution (potato) were not affected by this. For completeness please find below the original security advisory: Several cross site scripting vulnerabilities have been found in squirrelmail, a feature-rich webmail package written in PHP4. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project identified the following vulnerabilities: 1. CAN-2002-1131: User input is not always sanitized so execution of arbitrary code on a client computer is possible. This can happen after following a malicious URL or by viewing a malicious addressbook entry. 2. CAN-2002-1132: Another problem could make it possible for an attacker to gain sensitive information under some conditions. When a malformed argument is appended to a link, an error page will be generated which contains the absolute pathname of the script. However, this information is available through the Contents file of the distribution anyway. wget url will fetch the file for you dpkg -i file.deb will install the referenced file. If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for sources.list as given below: apt-get update will update the internal database apt-get upgrade will install corrected packages You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the footer to the proper configuration.

|---|---|
| 11629 | SquirrelMail options.php Path Disclosure |
| 9227 | SquirrelMail strip_tags Function PHP_SELF Value XSS |
| 4265 | SquirrelMail help.php chapter Parameter XSS SquirrelMail contains a flaw that allows a remote cross site scripting attack. This flaw exists because the application does not validate the "chapter" variable upon submission to "help.php" script. This could allow a user to create a specially crafted URL that would execute arbitrary code in a user's browser within the trust relationship between the browser and the server, leading to a loss of integrity. |
| 4264 | SquirrelMail search.php Multiple Parameter XSS Squirrel Mail contains a flaw that allows a remote cross site scripting attack. This flaw exists because the application does not validate multiple variables upon submission to the "search.php" script. This could allow a user to create a specially crafted URL that would execute arbitrary code in a user's browser within the trust relationship between the browser and the server, leading to a loss of integrity. |
| 4263 | SquirrelMail options.php optpage Parameter XSS Squirrel Mail contains a flaw that allows a remote cross site scripting attack. This flaw exists because the application does not validate the "optpage" variable upon submission to the "options.php" script. This could allow a user to create a specially crafted URL that would execute arbitrary code in a user's browser within the trust relationship between the browser and the server, leading to a loss of integrity. |
| 4262 | SquirrelMail addressbook.php Multiple Parameter XSS Squirrel Mail contains a flaw that allows a remote cross site scripting attack. This flaw exists because the application does not validate many variables upon submission to the addressbook.php script. This could allow a user to create a specially crafted URL that would execute arbitrary code in a user's browser within the trust relationship between the browser and the server, leading to a loss of integrity. |
