 desc = 'The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200501-39
(SquirrelMail: Multiple vulnerabilities)


    SquirrelMail fails to properly sanitize certain strings when
    decoding specially-crafted strings, which can lead to PHP file
    inclusion and XSS.
    Insufficient checking of incoming URLs
    in prefs.php (CVE-2005-0075) and in webmail.php (CVE-2005-0103).
    Insufficient escaping of integers in webmail.php
    (CVE-2005-0104).
  
Impact

    By sending a specially-crafted URL, an attacker can execute
    arbitrary code from the local system with the permissions of the web
    server. Furthermore by enticing a user to load a specially-crafted URL,
    it is possible to display arbitrary remote web pages in Squirrelmail\'s
    frameset and execute arbitrary scripts running in the context of the
    victim\'s browser. This could lead to a compromise of the user\'s webmail
    account, cookie theft, etc.
  
Workaround

    The arbitrary code execution is only possible with
    "register_globals" set to "On". Gentoo ships PHP with
    "register_globals" set to "Off" by default. There are no known
    workarounds for the other issues at this time.

Solution: 
    All SquirrelMail users should upgrade to the latest version:
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=mail-client/squirrelmail-1.4.4"
    Note: Users with the vhosts USE flag set should manually use
    webapp-config to finalize the update.
