![]() UPDATE (27 April, 2017): Golunski says that the software package is vulnerable up to version 20170424_0200-SVN.stable. More info about the flaw can also be found in this advisory. Users can wait to update their installation until things become more clear, and in the meantime, they can protect themselves by configuring their systems not to use Sendmail. But another one was pushed out today, so it’s possible that the issue was finally, definitely fixed. Still, according to Golunski, the 1.4.23 version snapshot offered on Monday was still vulnerable. “In order to exploit the bug, a malicious user would need to have already gained control over a mail account by other means, SquirrelMail would need to be configured to allow users to change their outgoing email address (we recommend keeping this disabled), the user would need to determine the location of the attachments directory (by gaining shell access or making guesses), the permissions on said directory and files would need to allow access by other processes (by default this will usually be the case, but prudent admins will exert more stringent access controls) and of course, SquirrelMail needs to be configured to send via Sendmail and not SMTP (default is SMTP),” he explained. He also told The Register that exploitation of the bug is difficult to pull off. The fixĪll this prompted Lesniewski to push out a patch on Monday, and new, patched version snapshots of the software (1.4.23-svn and 1.5.2-svn). Golunski reported it to SquirrelMail (sole) developer Paul Lesniewski, who asked for a delay of publication of the details until he could fix the flaw.īut as Cavallarin published details about it last week (after not receiving any reply by the SquirrelMail developer), Golunski did the same during the weekend.īoth researchers provided a proof-of-concept exploit for the flaw, and Cavallarin even offered an unofficial patch for plugging the hole. ![]() Starting from the left to right the buttons are Menu, Compose, Options, Settings, and Folders. by sgordon » Tue 12:47 am I have a ton of SquirrelMail folders with important content in them.
