Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2007.105

Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2007.105
Posted May 21, 2007
Authored by Mandriva | Site mandriva.com

Mandriva Linux Security Advisory - The APOP functionality in fetchmail's POP3 client implementation was validating the APOP challenge too lightly, accepting random garbage as a POP3 server's APOP challenge, rather than insisting it conform to RFC-822 specifications. As a result of this flaw, it made man-in-the-middle attacks easier than necessary to retrieve the first few characters of the APOP secret, allowing them to potentially brute force the remaining characters easier than should be possible.

Package : fetchmail
Date : May 17, 2007
Affected: 2007.0, 2007.1, Corporate 3.0, Corporate 4.0

Problem Description:

The APOP functionality in fetchmail's POP3 client implementation was
validating the APOP challenge too lightly, accepting random garbage
as a POP3 server's APOP challenge, rather than insisting it conform
to RFC-822 specifications.

As a result of this flaw, it made man-in-the-middle attacks easier than
necessary to retrieve the first few characters of the APOP secret,
allowing them to potentially brute force the remaining characters
easier than should be possible.

Updated packages have been patched to prevent these issues, however it
should be noted that the APOP MD5-based authentication scheme should
no longer be considered secure.
