squirrelmail-1.4.18-1.fc9 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 9. http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/squirrelmail-1.4.18-1.fc9 squirrelmail-1.4.18-1.fc9 has been pushed to the Fedora 9 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. squirrelmail-1.4.18-1.fc11 has been pushed to the Fedora 11 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. squirrelmail-1.4.18-1.fc10 has been pushed to the Fedora 10 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. Poc (from svn commit):
+ * Update: strip_tags() won't catch something like
+ * src/right_main.php?sort=0&startMessage=1&mailbox=INBOX&xxx="><script>window.open("http://example.com")</script>
+ * or
+ * contrib/decrypt_headers.php/%22%20onmouseover=%22alert(%27hello%20world%27)%22%3E
+ * because it doesn't bother with broken tags.
+ * htmlspecialchars() is the preferred method.
