Synopsis |
16 |
======== |
17 |
|
18 |
Webmin contains two security vulnerabilities which could lead to a |
19 |
Denial of Service attack and information disclosure. |
20 |
|
21 |
Background |
22 |
========== |
23 |
|

25 |

Description |
36 |
=========== |
37 |
|
38 |
Webmin contains two security vulnerabilities. One allows any user to |
39 |
view the configuration of any module and the other could allow an |
40 |
attacker to lock out a valid user by sending an invalid username and |
41 |
password. |
42 |
|
43 |
Impact |
44 |
====== |
45 |
|
46 |
An authenticated user could use these vulnerabilities to view the |
47 |
configuration of any module thus potentially obtaining important |
48 |
knowledge about configuration settings. Furthermore an attacker could |
49 |
lock out legitimate users by sending invalid login information. |
50 |
|
51 |
Workaround |
52 |
========== |
53 |
|
54 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
55 |
|
56 |
Resolution |
57 |
========== |
58 |
|
59 |
All Webmin users should upgrade to the latest stable version: |
60 |
|
61 |
# emerge sync |
62 |
|
63 |
# emerge -pv ">=app-admin/app-admin/webmin-1.150" |
64 |
# emerge ">=app-admin/app-admin/webmin-1.150" |
65 |
