Debian reported this to vendor-sec on 2005-01-15 Hi, A missing variable initialisation in functions/prefs.php allowed for potential insecure file inclusions. Only environments where the PHP setting register_globals is set to On are vulnerable. Affected versions: SquirrelMail 1.4.3, 1.4.3a, 1.4.4-RC1 Fixed in: SquirrelMail 1.4.4 This vulnerability was discovered by SquirrelMail developer Jimmy Conner. Currently the 1.4.4 release is planned for monday, as there still is some translation stuff pending. Please note that we do not have register_globals enabled by default, which negates this issue.
