Gentoo Linux Security Advisory GLSA 200509-17 - Keigo Yamazaki discovered that the miniserv.pl webserver, used in both Webmin and Usermin, does not properly validate authentication credentials before sending them to the PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules) authentication process. The default configuration shipped with Gentoo does not enable the full PAM conversations option and is therefore unaffected by this flaw. Versions less than 1.230 are affected.
