+ <title>SquirrelMail: Multiple vulnerabilities</title>

+ SquirrelMail fails to properly sanitize user input, which could lead to
+ arbitrary code execution and compromise webmail accounts.

+ <background>
+ <p>
+ SquirrelMail is a webmail package written in PHP. It supports IMAP
+ and SMTP and can optionally be installed with SQL support.
+ </p>

+ <description>
+ <p>
+ SquirrelMail fails to properly sanitize certain strings when
+ decoding specially-crafted strings, which can lead to PHP file
+ inclusion and XSS.
+ </p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>Insufficient checking of incoming URLs
+ in prefs.php (CAN-2005-0075) and in webmail.php (CAN-2005-0103).</li>
+ <li>Insufficient escaping of integers in webmail.php
+ (CAN-2005-0104).</li>
+ </ul>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="high">
+ <p>
+ By sending a specially-crafted URL, an attacker can execute
+ arbitrary code from the local system with the permissions of the web
+ server. Furthermore by enticing a user to load a specially-crafted URL,
+ it is possible to display arbitrary remote web pages in Squirrelmail's
+ frameset and execute arbitrary scripts running in the context of the
+ victim's browser. This could lead to a compromise of the user's webmail
+ account, cookie theft, etc.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ The arbitrary code execution is only possible with
+ "register_globals" set to "On". Gentoo ships PHP with
+ "register_globals" set to "Off" by default. There are no known
+ workarounds for the other issues at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All SquirrelMail users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=mail-client/squirrelmail-1.4.4"</code>
+ <p>
+ Note: Users with the vhosts USE flag set should manually use
+ webapp-config to finalize the update.
+ </p>
