All,

Due to the package compromise of 1.4.11, and 1.4.12, we are forced to
release 1.4.13 to ensure no confusions. While initial review didn't
uncover a need for concern, several proof of concepts show that the
package alterations introduce a high risk security issue, allowing
remote inclusion of files. These changes would allow a remote user the
ability to execute exploit code on a victim machine, without any user
interaction on the victim's server. This could grant the attacker the
ability to deploy further code on the victim's server.

We *STRONGLY* advise all users of 1.4.11, and 1.4.12 upgrade
immediately.

Hi,

it was reported on the SM mailing list that the source package of 1.4.11 and 1.4.12 seem to have been modified. See this:

Would be better to update right to 1.4.13 as the email says.
Comment 4 Robert Buchholz (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-12-14 21:21:35 UTC
As for security being in CC here: This does not affect Gentoo, as the checksum distributed on our rsync mirrors and the file on our distfiles mirrors is original and the mirroring happened before the file compromise:

486fb27a6ab306088603163160dbc8ca  squirrelmail-1.4.11.tar.bz2

The only way this could hit Gentoo users is when they cannot contact Gentoo mirrors and get a compromised copy from an outdated Sourceforge mirror. That would not cross the user's checksum verification though.

In portage.
