3. Problem description:
SquirrelMail is a standards-based webmail package written in PHP.
Several cross-site scripting bugs were discovered in SquirrelMail. An
attacker could inject arbitrary Javascript or HTML content into
SquirrelMail pages by tricking a user into visiting a carefully crafted
URL. (CVE-2006-6142)
Users of SquirrelMail should upgrade to this erratum package, which
contains a backported patch to correct these issues.
Notes:
- - After installing this update, users are advised to restart their
httpd service to ensure that the updated version functions correctly.

options that interfere with the operation of this application. Applying
specific config changes to config_local.php manually is recommended.
