"The remote host is running NeoMail, an open source webmail application
written in Perl. 

The installed version of this software fails to validate the 'sort'

dynamic content.  An attacker may be able to exploit this issue to
inject arbitrary HTML and script code into a user's browser, to be
executed within the security context of the affected application,
resulting in the theft of session cookies and a compromise of a user's
account." );
