Package : squirrelmail
Vulnerability : insufficient input sanitising
Problem type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id(s) : CVE-2008-2379
Ivan Markovic discovered that SquirrelMail, a webmail application, did not
sufficiently sanitise incoming HTML email, allowing an attacker to perform
cross site scripting through sending a malicious HTML email.
For the stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in
version 1.4.9a-3.
For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
version 1.4.15-4.
We recommend that you upgrade your squirrelmail package.
