Description:

The remote server is running at least one instance of IMP whose version
number is between 3.0 and 3.2.1 inclusive. Such versions are vulnerable
to several cross-scripting attacks whereby an attacker can cause a
victim to unknowingly run arbitrary Javascript code simply by reading an
HTML message from the attacker.

- http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=imp&m=105990362513789&w=2

Note : Nessus has determined the vulnerability exists on the target
simply by looking at the version number of IMP installed there. If the
installation has already been patched, consider this a false positive.

Solution : Upgrade to IMP version 3.2.2 or later or apply patches found
in the announcements to imp/lib/MIME/Viewer/html.php.

Risk factor : High
