Title: Two Mandriva Linux Security Advisories: 1. MDKSA-2006:049 - Updated squirrelmail packages fix vulnerabilities 2. MDKSA-2005:050 - Updated unzip packages fix vulnerabilities
Abstract:
Vendors affected: Mandriva
Operating systems affected: Mandriva
Applications affected: Mandriva

Title
=====

Two Mandriva Linux Security Advisories:

1. MDKSA-2006:049 - Updated squirrelmail packages fix vulnerabilities

2. MDKSA-2005:050 - Updated unzip packages fix vulnerabilities

Detail
======

1. Webmail.php in SquirrelMail 1.4.0 to 1.4.5 allows remote attackers to
inject arbitrary web pages into the right frame via a URL in the
right_frame parameter. NOTE: this has been called a cross-site
scripting (XSS) issue, but it is different than what is normally
identified as XSS. (CVE-2006-0188)

2. A buffer overflow was foiund in how unzip handles file name arguments.
If a user could tricked into processing a specially crafted,
excessively long file name with unzip, an attacker could execute
arbitrary code with the user's privileges.

Package : squirrelmail
Date : February 27, 2006
Affected: Corporate 3.0
_______________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

Webmail.php in SquirrelMail 1.4.0 to 1.4.5 allows remote attackers to
inject arbitrary web pages into the right frame via a URL in the
right_frame parameter. NOTE: this has been called a cross-site
scripting (XSS) issue, but it is different than what is normally
identified as XSS. (CVE-2006-0188)

Interpretation conflict in the MagicHTML filter in SquirrelMail 1.4.0
to 1.4.5 allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS)
attacks via style sheet specifiers with invalid (1) "/*" and "*/"
comments, or (2) a newline in a "url" specifier, which is processed by
certain web browsers including Internet Explorer. (CVE-2006-0195)

CRLF injection vulnerability in SquirrelMail 1.4.0 to 1.4.5 allows
remote attackers to inject arbitrary IMAP commands via newline
characters in the mailbox parameter of the sqimap_mailbox_select
command, aka "IMAP injection." (CVE-2006-0377)

Updated packages are patched to address these issues.
