Description:
Román Medina-Heigl Hernández has reported a vulnerability in SquirrelMail, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct script injection attacks.
The vulnerability is caused due to missing input validation of the "Content-Type:" header. This can be exploited via specially crafted emails containing HTML or script code in the "Content-Type:" header to execute the code in a user's browser session in context of a vulnerable site, when the malicious email is viewed.
The vulnerability has been reported in versions 1.4.3-rc1, 1.5.0 and 1.5.1 (cvs). Prior versions may also be affected.
NOTE: A number of other unspecified cross-site scripting vulnerabilities have also been discovered.
Solution:
Update to version 1.4.3.

The vulnerabilities have also been addressed in the latest 1.5.1 CVS version.
