Courier is an integrated mail and groupware server based on open protocols.
It provides ESMTP, IMAP, POP3, webmail, and mailing list services within a
single framework. The webmail functionality included in Courier called
SqWebMail allows you to access mailboxes from a web browser.

<description>
<p>
Luca Legato found that SqWebMail is vulnerable to a cross-site scripting
(XSS) attack. An XSS attack allows an attacker to insert malicious code
into a web-based application. SqWebMail doesn't filter appropriately data
coming from message headers before displaying them.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>
By sending a carefully crafted message, an attacker can inject and execute
script code in the victim's browser window. This allows to modify the
behaviour of the SqWebMail application, and/or leak session information
such as cookies to the attacker.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
There is no known workaround at this time. All users are encouraged to
upgrade to the latest available version of Courier.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All Courier users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>

# emerge sync
# emerge -pv "&gt;=mail-mta/courier-0.45.6.20040618"
# emerge "&gt;=mail-mta/courier-0.45.6.20040618"</code>
