Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update to squirrelmail
announced via advisory MDVSA-2009:053.

Vulnerability Insight:
A vulnerability has been identified and corrected in squirrelmail:

Squirrelmail 1.4.15 does not set the secure flag for the session
cookie in an https session, which can cause the cookie to be sent in
http requests and make it easier for remote attackers to capture this
cookie (CVE-2008-3663).

Additionally many of the bundled plugins has been upgraded. The
localization has also been upgraded. Basically this is a synchronization
with the latest squirrelmail package found in Mandriva Cooker. The
rpm changelog will reveal all the changes (rpm -q --changelog
squirrelmail).

The updated packages have been upgraded to the latest version of
squirrelmail to prevent this.

Affected: Corporate 4.0

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