(SquirrelMail: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities were found in SquirrelMail:
    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).
    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).
    Tomas Hoger discovered an unspecified session fixation
    vulnerability (CVE-2009-1580).
    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).
  
Impact :

    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.
  
Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time."
