Summary: An updated SquirrelMail package that fixes a cross-site scripting vulnerability is now available. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 3 - noarch Red Hat Desktop version 3 - noarch Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 3 - noarch Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 3 - noarch 3. 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 RPM. 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.
