Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing a security update.

Description

fixes :

- CVE-2011-2023 : Messages containing style tags with malicious script attributes were being displayed without being sanitized

- CVE-2010-4555 : An attacker could use one of several small bugs in SquirrelMail to inject malicious script into various pages or alter the contents of user preferences
