Debian DSA-3852-1 : squirrelmail - security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 100166

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

Dawid Golunski and Filippo Cavallarin discovered that squirrelmail, a webmail application, incorrectly handled a user-supplied value. This would allow a logged-in user to run arbitrary commands on the server.

Solution

Upgrade the squirrelmail packages.

For the stable distribution (jessie), this problem has been fixed in version 2:1.4.23~svn20120406-2+deb8u1.
