Binary package hint: squirrelmail

Server-side code injection in map_yp_alias username map

An issue was fixed that allowed arbitrary server-side code execution when SquirrelMail was configured to use the example "map_yp_alias" username mapping functionality.

This functionality is not enabled by default.

The fix in 1.4.18 was incomplete, upgrade to 1.4.19 or use the patch referenced below for full protection.
