Detail

Andrew Archibald discovered that the last update to squirrelmail which was intended to fix several problems caused a regression which got exposed when the user hits a session timeout. For completeness below is the original advisory text:

Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in Squirrelmail, a commonly used webmail system. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems:

CAN-2005-0104

Upstream developers noticed that an unsanitised variable could lead to cross site scripting.

CAN-2005-0152

Grant Hollingworth discovered that under certain circumstances URL manipulation could lead to the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of www-data. This problem only exists in version 1.2.6 of Squirrelmail.

For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in version 1.2.6-3.

The correction in the unstable distribution (sid) is not affected by this regression.

We recommend that you upgrade your squirrelmail package.
