Is there a plan to backport fixes for this, and similar recent security issues: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2010-4554 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2010-4555 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2011-2023 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2011-2752 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2011-2753 to the RHEL 5 packages (Squirrelmail 1.4.8)? It doesn't look like any security fixes have gone into EL5 since back in 10/09.
I can't answer that, that's question for security team. So you ask them in the cve bug in bugzilla. For example CVE-2010-4554 is bug #720693. (Bugs you've linked have link to bugzilla in them)

Unfortunately right now, we are not able to provide exact date, when the updated packages will be available for download, as this act depends on many conditions and the final date may be subject of change. Hope this helps. Let us know, if we can be of any further help. Thank you && Regards, Jan. -- Jan iankko Lieskovsky / Red Hat Security Response Team
