Description Josh Bressers 2004-11-17 20:07:48 UTC 
There is a cross site scripting issue in the decoding of encoded text
in certain headers. SquirrelMail correctly decodes the specially
crafted header, but doesn't sanitize the decoded strings.
Comment 1 Josh Bressers 2004-11-17 20:09:14 UTC 
We'll want to make sure that this fix makes it into RHEL4 as well.
Comment 2 Josh Bressers 2004-11-17 20:11:08 UTC 
Created attachment 106907 [details]
Upstream patch for this issue.
Comment 3 Warren Togami 2004-11-21 03:49:17 UTC 
dist-3.0E-errata-candidate squirrelmail-1.4.3a-7.EL3 is ready.  Do you
want to handle pushing?

CHANGLEOG since previous RHEL3 errata:
======================================
- sync with RHEL4 1.4.3a-7 except dovecot default config removed
- CAN-2004-1036 Cross Site Scripting in encoded text
- #112769 updated splash screens
- HIGASHIYAMA Masato's patch to improve Japanese support
  (coordinated by Scott A. Hughes).
- real 1.4.3a tarball
- #125638 config_local.php and default_pref in /etc/squirrelmail/
  to match upstream RPM.  This should allow smoother drop-in
  replacements and upgrades.
