Description:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in SquirrelMail, which can be exploited by malicious users to manipulate certain information, and by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting and script insertion attacks.
1) Input passed to the "right_main" parameter in "webmail.php" isn't properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site.
2) Some input validation errors in the processing of HTML in incoming mails can be exploited to inject arbitrary HTML and script code, which will be executed in a user's browser session in context of an affected site when the malicious mail is viewed.
Example:
* Comments in styles (requires that the user views the mail with the Microsoft Internet Explorer browser).
3) Input passed to the "mailbox" parameter in "read_body.php" isn't properly sanitised before being used in a IMAP query and can be exploited to inject arbitrary IMAP commands.
The vulnerabilities have been reported in version 1.4.5 and prior.
Solution:
Update to version 1.4.6.
