The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'squirrelmail' package(s) announced via the DSA-756-1 advisory. Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in Squirrelmail, a commonly used webmail system. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies cross-site scripting vulnerabilities and a vulnerability in the variable handling leading to attackers altering other people's preferences and possibly reading them, writing files at any location writable for www-data and cross site scripting

Martijn Brinkers discovered cross-site scripting vulnerabilities that allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML in the URL and e-mail messages.

CAN-2005-2095

James Bercegay of GulfTech Security discovered a vulnerability in the variable handling which could lead to attackers altering other people's preferences and possibly reading them, writing files at any location writable for www-data and cross site scripting.

For the old stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in version 1.2.6-4.

For the stable distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed in version 1.4.4-6sarge1.

For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in version 1.4.4-6sarge1.

We recommend that you upgrade your squirrelmail package.");
