Fedora Core 2: FEDORA-2004-160 Critical: SquirrelMail SQL Injection Flaws

SquirrelMail is a standards-based webmail package written in PHP4. It

includes built-in pure PHP support for the IMAP and SMTP protocols, and

all pages render in pure HTML 4.0 (with no Javascript) for maximum

compatibility across browsers. It has very few requirements and is very

easy to configure and install. SquirrelMail has all the functionality

you would want from an email client, including strong MIME support,

address books, and folder manipulation.

An SQL injection flaw was found in SquirrelMail version 1.4.2 and earlier. If SquirrelMail is configured to store user addressbooks in the database, a remote attacker could use this flaw to execute arbitrary SQL statements. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project has assigned the name CAN-2004-0521 to this issue.

A number of cross-site scripting (XSS) flaws in SquirrelMail version 1.4.2 and earlier could allow remote attackers to execute scripts as other web users. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the names CAN-2004-0519 and CAN-2004-0520 to these issues.

This update includes the SquirrelMail version 1.4.3a which is not vulnerable to these issues.
