NASL family Fedora Local Security Checks NASL id FEDORA_2004-160.NASL description A SQL injection flaw was found in SquirrelMail version 1.4.2 and earlier. If SquirrelMail is configured to store user addressbooks in the database, a remote attacker could use this flaw to execute arbitrary SQL statements. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project has assigned the name CVE-2004-0521 to this issue. A number of cross-site scripting (XSS) flaws in SquirrelMail version 1.4.2 and earlier could allow remote attackers to execute scripts as other web users. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the names CVE-2004-0519 and CVE-2004-0520 to these issues. This update includes the SquirrelMail version 1.4.3a which is not vulnerable to these issues. Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 13716 published 2004-07-23 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2004-2019 Tenable Network Security, Inc. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/13716 title Fedora Core 2 : squirrelmail-1.4.3-1 (2004-160) NASL family Red Hat Local Security Checks NASL id REDHAT-RHSA-2004-240.NASL description An updated SquirrelMail package that fixes several security vulnerabilities is now available.
