Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.67912
Category:Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:Mandriva Security Advisory MDVSA-2010:158 (squirrelmail)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:
The remote host is missing an update to squirrelmail
announced via advisory MDVSA-2010:158.

A vulnerability has been found and corrected in squirrelmail:

functions/imap_general.php in SquirrelMail before 1.4.21 does not
properly handle 8-bit characters in passwords, which allows remote
attackers to cause a denial of service (disk consumption) by making
many IMAP login attempts with different usernames, leading to the
creation of many preferences files (CVE-2010-2813).

This update provides squirrelmail 1.4.21, which is not vulnerable to
this issue.

Affected: Corporate 4.0, Enterprise Server 5.0

Solution:
To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification
of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you.
