Synopsis
========
A flaw in phpLDAPadmin may allow attackers to bypass security
restrictions and connect anonymously.
Background
==========
phpLDAPadmin is a web-based LDAP client allowing to easily manage LDAP
servers.
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 net-nds/phpldapadmin < 0.9.7_alpha6 >= 0.9.7_alpha6
Description
===========
Alexander Gerasiov discovered a flaw in login.php preventing the
application from validating whether anonymous bind has been disabled in
the target LDAP server configuration.
Impact
======
Anonymous users can access the LDAP server, even if the
"disable_anon_bind" parameter was explicitly set to avoid this.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
==========
All phpLDAPadmin users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-nds/phpldapadmin-0.9.7_alpha6"
