Here goes, there isn't a lot of data on these.

For Squirrelmail:

Here are some important notes from the slide:
        * Default plugin <mail_fetch>, emulates POP3 fetcher with fsockopen()
          PHP functions, Post Authentication only
            - No verification on IP / PORTS
        * You can transform SquirrelMail as a kind of Nmap scanner

        This has been assigned TEHTRI-SA-2010-009 by the discoverer.

        The danger is that this attack could be used to bypass a firewall.

Let's use CVE-2010-1637 for Squirrelmail.


For Horde:

        * You can transform a default Horde installation to a kind of
          advanced network TCP scanner with banner grabbing, etc

        Pre-auth

        TEHTRI-SA-2010-010

Let's use CVE-2010-1638 for Horde


If anyone has more links or information for these, please pass them along.
Thanks.
