ANNOUNCE: SquirrelMail 1.4.20 Release Candidate 2 Now Available
Aug 18, 2009 by Paul Lesniewski
|
|
Hot on the coattails of 1.4.20 release candidate 1, we received some helpful feedback from our friends at Secunia Research and have followed up with another release candidate. The risk of using the 1.4.20 release candidate 1 package instead of this one is very low, but we encourage the community to help test code that we hope to release as officially stable in the
near future. Those who can upgrade to release candidate 2 are encouraged to do so! |
ANNOUNCE: SquirrelMail 1.4.20 Release Candidate 1 Now Available
Aug 12, 2009 by Paul Lesniewski
|
|
The SquirrelMail Team is pleased to bring you the first release candidate ahead of our next SquirrelMail version: 1.4.20RC1. Because of the somewhat invasive nature of some of the changes we have recently made, we are issuing a "release candidate" before we officially move to version 1.4.20. While we have been very careful to ensure the stability of SquirrelMail, this version, 1.4.20 release candidate 1, has undergone limited testing, and we'd like to have more feedback before we make version 1.4.20 final.
The most notable changes for this version are the addition of two security mechanisms that fight cross-site request forgeries (CSRF), the removal of some deprecated PHP functions, some minor fixes in the filters plugin, and increased user privacy. For more complete details, see the ReleaseNotes and ChangeLog files included in this release (in the doc/ directory).
Due to the security issues fixed herein, we'd like to advise all users of SquirrelMail software to upgrade. However, because this is technically a "release candidate", it may be most prudent to to test your upgrade before putting it into production use. We are confident that most systems will not experience any trouble, but we'll be happy to work with you to resolve any issues that do arise. Your feedback is highly appreciated. |
SECURITY: SquirrelMail Webserver Compromise Update, and Plugin Status
Jul 31, 2009 by Jonathan Angliss

We apologies for the extended downtime for the SquirrelMail plugins
repository, and some of the SquirrelMail site documentation.
Plugins Compromise
During the initial announcement, we'd mentioned that we did not
believe that any of the plugins had been compromised. Further
investigation has shown that the following plugins were indeed
compromised:
- sasql-3.2.0
- multilogin-2.4-1.2.9
- change_pass-3.0-1.4.0
Parts of these code changes attempts to send mail to an offsite
server containing passwords. We cannot establish a timeline of when
these plugins were compromised. If you are a user of these plugins,
it is strongly recommended you download a fresh copy from the
plugins repository. MD5s for the good versions are below:
a492922e5b0d2245d4e9bc255a7c5755 sasql-3.2.0.tar.gz
b143f2dc82f9e98dd43c632855255075 multilogin-2.4-1.2.9.tar.gz
2cff7c5d4f6f5d8455683bb5d96bb9fe change_pass-3.0-1.4.0.tar.gz
Plugins Availability
As of now, the plugins are available to download again. I
personally apologies for the extended outage of this, as I know some
of you have been eager to get these back up and running again. Once
again, if you notice any issues with the site, feel free to email.

SECURITY: SquirrelMail Webserver Compromised
Jun 16, 2009 by Jonathan Angliss
|
|
At approximately 1700 GMT, on June 16, it was discovered that the SquirrelMail webserver had been compromised. The project administrators took immediate action to mitigate any futher compromises, locking all accounts out, and resetting critical passwords.
At this time, the SquirrelMail project administrators have shut down access to the original server, and put a temporary hold on access to the plugins. It is believed that none of the plugins have been compromised, but further investigations are still being executed.
The compromise of this server does not include a compromise of the source control, which is hosted on a separate repository managed by SourceForge.
Further details will be published as soon as the details have been uncovered. |
ANNOUNCE: SquirrelMail 1.4.19 Released
May 21, 2009 by Thijs Kinkhorst
|
|
The security fix to map_yp_alias in 1.4.18 turned out to be incomplete. We also experienced some regressions in the updated filter plugin. Both are addressed in this new release 1.4.19 which contains a few other small fixes aswell. If you do not use map_yp_alias or the filters plugin there's no urgent need to upgrade now if you already installed 1.4.18.
You can download it here. |
