CVE Names:	CVE-2009-2964

CVE-2009-2964 squirrelmail: CSRF issues in all forms

Form submissions in SquirrelMail did not implement protection against
Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks. If a remote attacker tricked 
a user into visiting a malicious web page, the attacker could hijack 
that user's authentication, inject malicious content into that user's
preferences, or possibly send mail without that user's permission.
