Title: PhpWiki: Authentication bypass (GLSA 200709-10)
Severity: low
Exploitable: remote
Date: September 18, 2007
Bug(s): #181692
ID: 200709-10
Synopsis
A vulnerability has been discovered in PhpWiki authentication mechanism.
Background
PhpWiki is an application that creates a web site where anyone can edit the pages through HTML forms.
Affected Packages
Package: www-apps/phpwiki
Vulnerable: < 1.3.14
Unaffected: >= 1.3.14
Architectures: All supported architectures
Description
The PhpWiki development team reported an authentication error within the file lib/WikiUser/LDAP.php when binding to an LDAP server with an empty password.
Impact
A remote attacker could provide an empty password when authenticating. Depending on the LDAP implementation used, this could bypass the PhpWiki authentication mechanism and grant the attacker access to the application.
Workaround
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
All PhpWiki users should upgrade to the latest version: Code: | # emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-apps/phpwiki-1.3.14" |
