-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian Security Advisory DSA 191-2 security@debian.org http://www.debian.org/security/ Martin Schulze November 7th, 2002 http://www.debian.org/security/faq - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Package : squirrelmail Vulnerability : cross site scripting Problem-Type : remote Debian-specific: no BugTraq ID : 5949 CVE ID : CAN-2002-1131 CAN-2002-1132 The security update for Squirrelmail (DSA 191-1) unfortunately introduced a bug in the options page. This problem is fixed in version 1.2.6-1.2 the current stable distribution (woody). The unstable distribution (sid) and the old stable distribution (potato) were not affected by this. For completeness please find below the original security advisory: Several cross site scripting vulnerabilities have been found in squirrelmail, a feature-rich webmail package written in PHP4. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project identified the following vulnerabilities: 1. CAN-2002-1131: User input is not always sanitized so execution of arbitrary code on a client computer is possible. This can happen after following a malicious URL or by viewing a malicious addressbook entry. 2. CAN-2002-1132: Another problem could make it possible for an attacker to gain sensitive information under some conditions. When a malformed argument is appended to a link, an error page will be generated which contains the absolute pathname of the script. However, this information is available through the Contents file of the distribution anyway. 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.
