Package : squirrelmail
Vulnerability : several
Problem-Type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID : CAN-2005-0104 CAN-2005-0152
Debian Bug : 292714 295836

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.


Upgrade Instructions
- --------------------

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.
