  A server-side code injection flaw was found in the SquirrelMail
  'map_yp_alias' function. If SquirrelMail was configured to retrieve a
  user's IMAP server address from a Network Information Service (NIS) server
  via the 'map_yp_alias' function, an unauthenticated, remote attacker using
  a specially-crafted username could use this flaw to execute arbitrary code
  with the privileges of the web server. (CVE-2009-1579)

  Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) flaws were found in SquirrelMail. An
  attacker could construct a carefully crafted URL, which once visited by an
  unsuspecting user, could cause the user's web browser to execute malicious
  script in the context of the visited SquirrelMail web page. (CVE-2009-1578)

  It was discovered that SquirrelMail did not properly sanitize Cascading
  Style Sheets (CSS) directives used in HTML mail. A remote attacker could
  send a specially-crafted email that could place mail content above
  SquirrelMail's controls, possibly allowing phishing and cross-site
  scripting attacks. (CVE-2009-1581)

  Users of squirrelmail should upgrade to this updated package, which
  contains backported patches to correct these issues.");
