Local file inclusions in prefs.php

Date:

2005-01-14

Description:

A recent change in prefs.php allowed for an attacker to provide a specially crafted URL that could include local code into the SquirrelMail code.

This only affects people with register_globals set to On, which is not recommended.

Affected Versions:

1.4.3-RC1 - 1.4.4-RC1

Register Globals:

This requires the PHP register_globals setting to be On, a setting both PHP and SquirrelMail highly discourage.

CVE ID(s):
