GLSA-200804-24 : DBmail: Data disclosure

medium Nessus Plugin ID 32017

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-200804-24 (DBmail: Data disclosure)

 A vulnerability in DBMail's authldap module when used in conjunction with an Active Directory server has been reported by vugluskr. When passing a zero length password to the module, it tries to bind anonymously to the LDAP server. If the LDAP server allows anonymous binds, this bind succeeds and results in a successful authentication to DBMail.
 Impact :

 By passing an empty password string to the server, an attacker could be able to log in to any account.
 Workaround :

 There is no known workaround at this time.

Solution

All DBMail users should upgrade to the latest version:
 # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose '>=net-mail/dbmail-2.2.9'
