Debian DLA-79-1 : dokuwiki security update

medium Nessus Plugin ID 82224

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

This fixes a possibility of bypassing the wiki authentication when an Active Directory is used for LDAP authentication. These two CVE are almost the same, one apparently being a superset of the other. They are fixed together.

CVE-2014-8763

DokuWiki before 2014-05-05b, when using Active Directory for LDAP authentication, allows remote attackers to bypass authentication via a password starting with a null (\0) character and a valid user name, which triggers an unauthenticated bind.

CVE-2014-8764

DokuWiki 2014-05-05a and earlier, when using Active Directory for LDAP authentication, allows remote attackers to bypass authentication via a user name and password starting with a null (\0) character, which triggers an anonymous bind.

Solution

Upgrade the affected dokuwiki package.
