  <synopsis>

    to cross-site scripting attacks.

    <p>
    Courier is an integrated mail and groupware server based on open protocols.
    It provides ESMTP, IMAP, POP3, webmail, and mailing list services within a
    single framework. The webmail functionality included in Courier called
    SqWebMail allows you to access mailboxes from a web browser.
    </p>

  <description>
    <p>
    Luca Legato found that SqWebMail is vulnerable to a cross-site scripting
    (XSS) attack. An XSS attack allows an attacker to insert malicious code
    into a web-based application. SqWebMail doesn't filter appropriately data
    coming from message headers before displaying them.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    By sending a carefully crafted message, an attacker can inject and execute
    script code in the victim's browser window. This allows to modify the
    behaviour of the SqWebMail application, and/or leak session information
    such as cookies to the attacker.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time. All users are encouraged to
    upgrade to the latest available version of Courier.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All Courier users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge sync

    # emerge -pv ">=mail-mta/courier-0.45.6.20040618"
    # emerge ">=mail-mta/courier-0.45.6.20040618"</code>
