Hello All,

The SquirrelMail Project Team is proud to announce the release of
SquirrelMail 1.4.10. This version is a security release.

This version, 1.4.10 is a maintenance release, addressing
the following problems since 1.4.9a:
- Some security fixes (see below)
- Small enhancements
- A collection of bugfixes and stability enhancements
(see ChangeLog for a full list)

Security issues
===============

This release addresses security issues found since the release of 1.4.9a:

There's an ongoing battle to further secure the HTML filter against malicious
HTML mail and the browsers that accept almost any malformed piece of HTML.

This release contains fixes for the following:
- HTML attachments containing "data:" URLs;
- Internet Explorer in various versions accepts many permutations of HTML
  and JavaScript in many charsets. We now properly canonicalize the incoming
  HTML to us-ascii before applying further filters. IE only.
- Request forgery through images. It was possible to include "images" in
  HTML mails which were in fact GET requests for the compose.php page sending
  mail. These images are now properly detected, and the compose form will only
  send mail through a POST request.

Thanks to Mikhail Markin, Tomas Kuliavas and Michael Jordon for reporting
(parts of) these issues and working with us to get them resolved.

These are known as CVE-2007-1262. Further details on SquirrelMail 
vulnerabilities can be found at the following address:
