SquirrelMail plugins compromised

From: Jon Angliss <jon-AT-squirrelmail.org> To: squirrelmail-announce-AT-lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [SM-ANNOUNCE] SECURITY: SquirrelMail Web Server Status, and Plugins Update Date: Thu, 30 Jul 2009 23:42:28 -0500 Cc: squirrelmail-plugins-AT-lists.sourceforge.net, squirrelmail-users-AT-lists.sourceforge.net, squirrelmail-admins-AT-lists.sourceforge.net, squirrelmail-devel-AT-lists.sourceforge.net

All, We apologies for the extended downtime for the SquirrelMail plugins repository, and some of the SquirrelMail site documentation. Unfortunately due to conflicting time schedules, and some miss-communications amongst the team (mostly my fault), the server was unavailable for an extended length of time. Server Status ------------- This evening, after an extended downtime, we finally rolled to using the new server. XS4All.nl were gracious in loaning us an additional server whilst we migrated our data, to the new server. All documentation should now be online again, and active. If you notice any issues with the site, please feel free to email me directly, I'll get onto it as soon as I can. Plugins Compromise ------------------ During the initial announcement, we'd mentioned that we did not believe that any of the plugins had been compromised. Further investigation has shown that the following plugins were indeed compromised: - sasql-3.2.0 - multilogin-2.4-1.2.9 - change_pass-3.0-1.4.0 Parts of these code changes attempts to send mail to an offsite server containing passwords. We cannot establish a timeline of when these plugins were compromised. If you are a user of these plugins, it is strongly recommended you download a fresh copy from the plugins repository. MD5s for the good versions are below: a492922e5b0d2245d4e9bc255a7c5755 sasql-3.2.0.tar.gz b143f2dc82f9e98dd43c632855255075 multilogin-2.4-1.2.9.tar.gz 2cff7c5d4f6f5d8455683bb5d96bb9fe change_pass-3.0-1.4.0.tar.gz Plugins Availability -------------------- As of now, the plugins are available to download again. I personally apologies for the extended outage of this, as I know some of you have been eager to get these back up and running again. Once again, if you notice any issues with the site, feel free to email. -- Jon Angliss <jon@squirrelmail.org> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
