Comment 1 Chris Ricker 2002-09-20 09:42:48 EDT

An errata upgrade to 1.2.8 (rather than a backport of the XSS fixes from 1.2.8
to 1.2.7) would be nice, since 1.2.8 also removes the need for register_globals....

Note that SquirrelMail 1.2.7 (at least as we ship it) was never vulnerable to
the fourth test.
