Code Injection
AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P

PHP remote file inclusion vulnerability in webmail.php in SquirrelMail before 1.4.4 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code by modifying a URL parameter to reference a URL on a remote web server that contains the code.

AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P

DISPUTED PHP remote file inclusion vulnerability in functions/plugin.php in SquirrelMail 1.4.6 and earlier, if registerglobals is enabled and magicquotesgpc is disabled, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code via a URL in the plugins array parameter. NOTE: this issue has been disputed by third parties, who state that Squirrelmail provides prominent warnings to the administrator when registerglobals is enabled. Since the varieties of administrator negligence are uncountable, perhaps this type of issue should not be included in CVE. However, the original developer has posted a security advisory, so there might be relevant real-world environments under which this vulnerability is applicable.

A denial of service flaw was found in the way SquirrelMail processed random login attempts with 8-bit characters in the password. A remote attacker could use this flaw to cause the server system potentially to run out of the hard disk space via random login attempts, causing SquirrelMail temporarily to accept the login and create a preferences file for the given username.
