DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in Progress OpenEdge, which can be
exploited by malicious people to bypass certain security
restrictions.

The vulnerability is caused due to an error in the authentication
mechanism when validating credentials on the client side and can be
exploited to login to the RDBMS using any valid UserID.

NOTE: Additionally, a weakness exists in the authentication process
when checking for a UserID and can be exploited to enumerate valid
UserIDs.

The vulnerability is reported in version 10.2A. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Restrict access to trusted hosts only (e.g via network access control
lists).

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
