Description:
A vulnerability has been identified in oMail-webmail, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.
The vulnerability is caused due to input validation errors in the "checklogin()" function. The problem is that user input supplied to the variables "$domainname", "$username", and "$password" isn't sufficiently checked. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary code on the system by supplying input containing various shell meta characters.
Reportedly all versions including 0.98.5 are vulnerable.
Solution:
Use another product.
