CVE Names:         CAN-2004-1036
---------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Summary:

An updated SquirrelMail package that fixes a cross-site scripting
vulnerability is now available.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 3 - noarch
Red Hat Desktop version 3 - noarch
Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 3 - noarch
Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 3 - noarch

3. Problem description:

SquirrelMail is a webmail package written in PHP.

A cross-site scripting bug has been found in SquirrelMail.  This issue
could allow an attacker to send a mail with a carefully crafted header,
which could result in causing the victim's machine to execute a malicious
script. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project has assigned the
name CAN-2004-1036 to this issue.

Additionally, the following issues have been addressed:

- updated splash screens
- HIGASHIYAMA Masato's patch to improve Japanese support
- real 1.4.3a tarball
- config_local.php and default_pref in /etc/squirrelmail/ to match upstream   
  RPM.

Please note that it is possible that upgrading to this package may remove
your SquirrelMail configuration files due to a bug in the RPM package. 
Upgrading will prevent this from happening in the future.

Users of SquirrelMail are advised to upgrade to this updated package which
contains a patched version of SquirrelMail version 1.43a and is not
vulnerable to these issues.

4. Solution:

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.  Use Red Hat
