Synopsis

The remote Gentoo host is missing one or more security-related patches.

Description

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200509-04 (phpLDAPadmin: Authentication bypass)

Alexander Gerasiov discovered a flaw in login.php preventing the application from validating whether anonymous bind has been disabled in the target LDAP server configuration.
Impact :

Anonymous users can access the LDAP server, even if the 'disable_anon_bind' parameter was explicitly set to avoid this.
Workaround :

There is no known workaround at this time.

Solution

# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose '>=net-nds/phpldapadmin-0.9.7_alpha6'
