Discussion

SquirrelMail Remote Denial of Service Vulnerability

SquirrelMail is prone to a remote denial-of-service vulnerability because it fails to properly handle certain user requests.

An attacker can exploit this issue to cause the application to consume excessive disk space, resulting in denial-of-service conditions.

SquirrelMail versions prior and up to 1.4.20 are vulnerable; others may also be affected.
