Descriptions

functions/imap_general.php in SquirrelMail before 1.4.21 does not properly handle 8-bit characters in passwords, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (disk consumption) by making many IMAP login attempts with different usernames, leading to the creation of many preferences files.

functions/imap_general.php en SquirrelMail anterior a v1.4.21 no maneja adecuadamente los caracteres de 8-bits en contraseñas, lo cual permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (consumo de disco) realizando muchos intentos de inicio de sesión IMAP con diferentes nombres de usuario, llevando a la creación de muchos ficheros de preferencias.
