CVE-2009-1581:

functions/mime.php in SquirrelMail before 1.4.18 does not protect the
application's content from Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) positioning in
HTML e-mail messages, which allows remote attackers to spoof the user
interface, and conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) and phishing
attacks, via a crafted message.
