Summary
Red Hat Security Advisory: squirrelmail security update
Severity
Moderate
Notes
Topic: An updated squirrelmail package that fixes two security issues is now available. This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team. [Updated 04 Aug 2005] The previous SquirrelMail package released with this errata contained a bug which rendered the addressbook unusable. The erratum has been updated with a package which corrects this issue.
Details: SquirrelMail is a standards-based webmail package written in PHP4. A bug was found in the way SquirrelMail handled the $_POST variable. If a user is tricked into visiting a malicious URL, the user's SquirrelMail preferences could be read or modified. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project assigned the name CAN-2005-2095 to this issue. Several cross-site scripting bugs were discovered in SquirrelMail. An attacker could inject arbitrary Javascript or HTML content into SquirrelMail pages by tricking a user into visiting a carefully crafted URL, or by sending them a carefully constructed HTML email message. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project assigned the name CAN-2005-1769 to this issue. All users of SquirrelMail should upgrade to this updated package, which contains backported patches that resolve these issues.

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in SquirrelMail 1.4.0 through 1.4.4 allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via unknown attack vectors in (1) the URL or (2) an e-mail message.

Threats
Impact Moderate

options_identities.php in SquirrelMail 1.4.4 and earlier uses the extract function to process the $_POST variable, which allows remote attackers to modify or read the preferences of other users, conduct cross-site scripting XSS) attacks, and write arbitrary files.

Drag nodes to arrange them. Double-click a related vulnerability to open it, or a source to visit its link. The Physics button on the left tunes the layout and the simulation; the legend at the bottom left hides or shows nodes by kind and by sighting type.

Forecast uses a logistic model when the trend is rising, or an exponential decay model when the trend is falling. Fitted via linearized least squares.

Nomenclature

  • Seen: The vulnerability was mentioned, discussed, or observed by the user.
  • Confirmed: The vulnerability has been validated from an analyst's perspective.
  • Published Proof of Concept: A public proof of concept is available for this vulnerability.
  • Exploited: The vulnerability was observed as exploited by the user who reported the sighting.
  • Patched: The vulnerability was observed as successfully patched by the user who reported the sighting.
  • Not exploited: The vulnerability was not observed as exploited by the user who reported the sighting.
  • Not confirmed: The user expressed doubt about the validity of the vulnerability.
  • Not patched: The vulnerability was not observed as successfully patched by the user who reported the sighting.

How durations are calculated

Following the VTEM framework (Black Hat USA 2015), time to patch starts when the vendor or a coordinator was informed, total time to patch at discovery, and disclosure to patch at public disclosure; vendor response time runs from the report to its acknowledgement. Time to exploit and time unpatched start at the earliest discovery or report, falling back to public disclosure. Unpatched time ends at the first recorded patch, or the calculation time when no patch is recorded. Exploitation to patch shows the interval between those two events; a published proof of concept is a public exploit, not exploitation.

Each result shows its source dates. A negative interval means the end event came first; when date-only inputs leave the order open, the result says so. Date-only inputs are approximate. The earliest evidence wins: KEV report dates and sightings are labelled as such. Records describing another vulnerability are listed but never calculated from, and a PoC alone does not establish exploitation. Missing patch evidence does not prove that no patch exists. Filters below change the event list only.

    Related by attack behaviour

    Vulnerabilities whose description is nearest to this one in the vector space of the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-biencoder model. This is a similarity search over the bi-encoder space (plain cosine), not a classification, and it has no measured accuracy.
