This release addresses security issues found since the release of 1.4.9a:

There's an ongoing battle to further secure the HTML filter against malicio=
us
HTML mail and the browsers that accept almost any malformed piece of HTML.

This release contains fixes for the following:
=2D HTML attachments containing "data:" URLs;
=2D Internet Explorer in various versions accepts many permutations of HTML
  and JavaScript in many charsets. We now properly canonicalize the incoming
  HTML to us-ascii before applying further filters. IE only.
=2D Request forgery through images. It was possible to include "images" in
  HTML mails which were in fact GET requests for the compose.php page sendi=
ng
  mail. These images are now properly detected, and the compose form will o=
nly
  send mail through a POST request.

Thanks to Mikhail Markin, Tomas Kuliavas and Michael Jordon for reporting
(parts of) these issues and working with us to get them resolved.

These are known as CVE-2007-1262. Further details on SquirrelMail=20
