Problem description: SquirrelMail is a webmail package written in PHP. A cross-site scripting bug has been found in SquirrelMail. This issue could allow an attacker to send a mail with a carefully crafted header, which could result in causing the victim's machine to execute a malicious script. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project has assigned the name CAN-2004-1036 to this issue. Additionally, the following issues have been addressed: - - updated splash screens - - HIGASHIYAMA Masato's patch to improve Japanese support - - real 1.4.3a tarball - - config_local.php and default_pref in /etc/squirrelmail/ to match upstream Please note that it is possible that upgrading to this package may remove your SquirrelMail configuration files due to a bug in the RPM package. Upgrading will prevent this from happening in the future. Users of SquirrelMail are advised to upgrade to this updated package which contains a patched version of SquirrelMail version 1.43a and is not vulnerable to these issues. 4. Solution: Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied. Use Red Hat Network to download and update your packages.

Open Source Vulnerability Database (OSVDB)
| Id | Description |
|---|---|
| 11603 | SquirrelMail mime.php Header Encoding (decodeHeader) XSS SquirrelMail contains a flaw that allows a remote cross site scripting attack. This flaw exists because the application does not validate user-supplied input to the decodeHeader() function in mime.php. 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. |
