Synopsis
=======
Squirrelmail fails to properly sanitize user input, which could lead to
a compromise of webmail accounts.

Background
=========
SquirrelMail is a webmail package written in PHP. It supports IMAP and
SMTP, and can optionally be installed with SQL support.

Affected packages
================
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
     Package                   /     Vulnerable     /       Unaffected
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
  1  mail-client/squirrelmail      <= 1.4.3_rc1-r1            >= 1.4.3

Description
==========
A new cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in
Squirrelmail-1.4.3_rc1 has been discovered. In functions/mime.php
Squirrelmail fails to properly sanitize user input.

Impact
=====
By enticing a user to read a specially crafted e-mail, an attacker can
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.

Workaround
=========
There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
=========
All SquirrelMail users should upgrade to the latest stable version:

    # emerge sync

    # emerge -pv ">=mail-client/squirrelmail-1.4.3"
    # emerge ">=mail-client/squirrelmail-1.4.3"
