Ubuntu 4.10 / 5.04 : courier vulnerabilities (USN-201-1)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 20617

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing one or more security-related patches.

Description

Several Cross Site Scripting vulnerabilities were discovered in SqWebmail. A remote attacker could exploit this to execute arbitrary JavaScript or other active HTML embeddable content in the web browser of an SqWebmail user by sending specially crafted emails to him.

Please note that the 'sqwebmail' package is not officially supported by Ubuntu (it is in the 'universe' section of the archive).

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

Solution

Update the affected packages.
