This would allow any users with access to the Apache log files to harvest user passwords and possibly other sensitive data. The patch to fix this problem also corrects and issue where non-alphanumeric characters in passwords, set via the Kolab web interface, did not work. The updated packages have been patched to prevent these issues. Many thanks to Gavin McCullagh for his help in writing the patch and testing the fix. As well, to scrub existing log files to remove existing stored passwords, the following sed command can be used: sed -i 's/\(&password_0=\).*\(&password_1=\).*\(&mail_0\)/\1xxxxxxxx\2xxxxxxxx\3/' /var/log/httpd/ssl_access_log* _______________________________________________________________________ References: https://qa.mandriva.com/43434 _______________________________________________________________________ Updated Packages: Corporate 3.0: 2dfff9159290939281e28939609ab5be corporate/3.0/i586/kolab-server-1.0-0.24.C30mdk.i586.rpm 5b687608b714691e169ab7e51cf6cc40 corporate/3.0/SRPMS/kolab-server-1.0-0.24.C30mdk.src.rpm Corporate 3.0/X86_64: fe1b25ea5465eaeb950f2e88878679af corporate/3.0/x86_64/kolab-server-1.0-0.24.C30mdk.x86_64.rpm 5b687608b714691e169ab7e51cf6cc40 corporate/3.0/SRPMS/kolab-server-1.0-0.24.C30mdk.src.rpm _______________________________________________________________________ To upgrade automatically use MandrivaUpdate or urpmi.
