Debian DLA-1344-1 : squirrelmail security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 109062

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Florian Grunow and Birk Kauer of ERNW discovered a path traversal vulnerability in SquirrelMail, a webmail application, allowing an authenticated remote attacker to retrieve or delete arbitrary files via mail attachment.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 2:1.4.23~svn20120406-2+deb7u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your squirrelmail packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected squirrelmail package.
