Background ========== DBMail is a mail storage and retrieval daemon that uses SQL databases as its data store. IMAP and POP3 can be used to retrieve mails from the database. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 net-mail/dbmail < 2.2.9 >= 2.2.9 Description =========== 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. Resolution ========== All DBMail users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-mail/dbmail-2.2.9" References ========== [ 1 ] CVE-2007-6714 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-6714 Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200804-24.xml Concerns? ========= Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us.
