Novell Teaming Login User Account Enumeration Weakness

medium Nessus Plugin ID 36205

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a module that leaks information.

Description

The remote host is running Novell Teaming, a collaboration and conferencing application. The version of Novell Teaming installed on the remote host allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to enumerate users during the login phase because the web application responds with different messages when an invalid username or invalid password is used.

In addition, it is likely to be affected by multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities due to its failure to sanitize input to the 'p_p_state' and 'p_p_mode' parameters of the web application, although Nessus has not checked for these.

Solution

Apply the appropriate patch referenced in the vendor advisory above.
