3. Description:

 

SquirrelMail is an easy-to-configure, standards-based, webmail package

written in PHP. It includes built-in PHP support for the IMAP and SMTP

protocols, and pure HTML 4.0 page-rendering (with no JavaScript required)

for maximum browser-compatibility, strong MIME support, address books, and

folder manipulation.

 

The Red Hat SquirrelMail packages provided by the RHSA-2009:0010 advisory

introduced a session handling flaw. Users who logged back into SquirrelMail

without restarting their web browsers were assigned fixed session

identifiers. A remote attacker could make use of that flaw to hijack user

sessions. (CVE-2009-0030)

 

SquirrelMail users should upgrade to this updated package, which contains a

patch to correct this issue. As well, all users who used affected versions

of SquirrelMail should review their preferences.
