A bug was found in the way SquirrelMail filters incoming HTML email.
It is possible to cause a victim's web browser to request remote content by opening a HTML email while running a web browser that processes certain types of invalid style sheets. Only Internet Explorer is known to process such malformed style sheets.
(CVE-2006-0195)

A bug was found in the way SquirrelMail processes a request to select an IMAP mailbox. If a user can be tricked into opening a carefully crafted URL, it is possible to execute arbitrary IMAP commands as the user viewing their mail with SquirrelMail. (CVE-2006-0377)
