    <p>

    </p>

  <description>
    <p>
    Multiple vulnerabilities were found in SquirrelMail:
    </p>
    <ul><li>Niels
    Teusink reported multiple input sanitation flaws in certain encrypted
    strings in e-mail headers, related to contrib/decrypt_headers.php,
    PHP_SELF and the query string (aka QUERY_STRING) (CVE-2009-1578).
    </li>
    <li>Niels Teusink also reported that the map_yp_alias() function
    in functions/imap_general.php does not filter shell metacharacters in a
    username and that the original patch was incomplete (CVE-2009-1381,
    CVE-2009-1579).
    </li>
    <li>Tomas Hoger discovered an unspecified session fixation
    vulnerability (CVE-2009-1580).
    </li>
    <li>Luc Beurton reported that functions/mime.php does not protect
    the application's content from Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) positioning
    in HTML e-mail messages (CVE-2009-1581).
    </li>
    </ul>
  </description>
  <impact type="high">
    <p>
    The vulnerabilities allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code
    with the privileges of the user running the web server, to hijack web
    sessions via a crafted cookie, to spoof the user interface and to
    conduct Cross-Site Scripting and phishing attacks, via a specially
    crafted message.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All SquirrelMail users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=mail-client/squirrelmail-1.4.19"</code>
  </resolution>
