Fedora Core 4 2006-133: squirrelmail

Vulnerability Assessment Summary
Check for the version of the squirrelmail package

Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment

The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory FEDORA-2006-133 (squirrelmail).

SquirrelMail is a standards-based webmail package written in PHP4. It
includes built-in pure PHP support for the IMAP and SMTP protocols, and
all pages render in pure HTML 4.0 (with no Javascript) for maximum
compatibility across browsers. It has very few requirements and is very
easy to configure and install. SquirrelMail has all the functionality
you would want from an email client, including strong MIME support,
address books, and folder manipulation.

Update Information:

Upgrade to version upstream 1.4.6 which solves these issues
in addition to several bugs.

Additionally Fedora's package contains fixes that may
improve usability of squirrelmail in various non-English
languages. Please report to Bug #162852 if this update
causes any regressions in non-English language behavior.
