CVE-2009-1578 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2009-1578):
  Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in SquirrelMail
  before 1.4.18 allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script
  or HTML via vectors involving (1) certain encrypted strings in e-mail
  headers, related to contrib/decrypt_headers.php; (2) PHP_SELF; and
  (3) the query string (aka QUERY_STRING).

CVE-2009-1579 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2009-1579):
  The map_yp_alias function in functions/imap_general.php in
  SquirrelMail before 1.4.18 allows remote attackers to execute
  arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in a username string that
  is used by the ypmatch program.

CVE-2009-1580 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2009-1580):
  Session fixation vulnerability in SquirrelMail before 1.4.18 allows
  remote attackers to hijack web sessions via a crafted cookie.

CVE-2009-1581 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2009-1581):
  functions/mime.php in SquirrelMail before 1.4.18 does not protect the
  application's content from Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) positioning
  in HTML e-mail messages, which allows remote attackers to spoof the
  user interface, and conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) and phishing
  attacks, via a crafted message.
