Debian: New squirrelmail package fixes regression
Summary
CAN-2005-0104
Upstream developers noticed that an unsanitised variable could
lead to cross site scripting.
CAN-2005-0152
Grant Hollingworth discovered that under certain circumstances URL
manipulation could lead to the execution of arbitrary code with
the privileges of www-data. This problem only exists in version
1.2.6 of Squirrelmail.
For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in
version 1.2.6-3.
The correction in the unstable distribution (sid) is not affected by
this regression.
We recommend that you upgrade your squirrelmail package.
