15 Synopsis
16 ========
17
18 A flaw in phpLDAPadmin may allow attackers to bypass security
19 restrictions and connect anonymously.
20
21 Background
22 ==========
23
24 phpLDAPadmin is a web-based LDAP client allowing to easily manage LDAP
25 servers.
26
27 Affected packages
28 =================
29
30 -------------------------------------------------------------------
31 Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
32 -------------------------------------------------------------------
33 1 net-nds/phpldapadmin < 0.9.7_alpha6 >= 0.9.7_alpha6
34
35 Description
36 ===========
37
38 Alexander Gerasiov discovered a flaw in login.php preventing the
39 application from validating whether anonymous bind has been disabled in
40 the target LDAP server configuration.
41
42 Impact
43 ======
44
45 Anonymous users can access the LDAP server, even if the
46 "disable_anon_bind" parameter was explicitly set to avoid this.
47
48 Workaround
49 ==========
50
51 There is no known workaround at this time.
52
53 Resolution
54 ==========
55
56 All phpLDAPadmin users should upgrade to the latest version:
57
58 # emerge --sync
59 # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-nds/phpldapadmin-0.9.7_alpha6"
