Descriptions

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in SquirrelMail 1.4.0 through 1.4.4 allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via unknown attack vectors in (1) the URL or (2) an e-mail message.

Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in Squirrelmail, a commonly used webmail system. 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. 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.
