Mandrakelinux Security Update Advisory


Package name: kolab-server
Advisory ID: MDKSA-2004:052
Date: May 26th, 2004
Affected versions: 10.0


Problem Description:

Luca Villani reported the disclosure of critical configuration
information within Kolab, the KDE Groupware server. The affected
versions store OpenLDAP passwords in plain text. The heart of Kolab
is an engine written in Perl that rewrites configuration for
certain applications based on templates. The build() function in
the engine left slapd.conf world-readable exhibiting the OpenLDAP
root password.
