+ <title>HylaFAX: hfaxd unauthorized login vulnerability</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ HylaFAX is subject to a vulnerability in its username matching code,
+ potentially allowing remote users to bypass access control lists.
+ </synopsis>
+ <product type="ebuild">HylaFAX</product>
+ <announced>2005-01-11</announced>
+ <revised>2005-01-11: 01</revised>
+ <bug>75941</bug>
+ <access>remote</access>
+ <affected>
+ <package name="net-misc/hylafax" auto="yes" arch="*">
+ <unaffected range="ge">4.2.0-r2</unaffected>
+ <vulnerable range="lt">4.2.0-r2</vulnerable>
+ </package>
+ </affected>
+ <background>
+ <p>
+ HylaFAX is a software package for sending and receiving facsimile
+ messages.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ The code used by hfaxd to match a given username and hostname with
+ an entry in the hosts.hfaxd file is insufficiently protected against
+ malicious entries.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ If the HylaFAX installation uses a weak hosts.hfaxd file, a remote
+ attacker could authenticate using a malicious username or hostname and
+ bypass the intended access restrictions.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ As a workaround, administrators may consider adding passwords to
+ all entries in the hosts.hfaxd file.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All HylaFAX users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=net-misc/hylafax-4.2.0-r2"</code>
+ <p>
+ Note: Due to heightened security, weak entries in the
+ hosts.hfaxd file may no longer work. Please see the HylaFAX
+ documentation for details of accepted syntax in the hosts.hfaxd file.
+ </p>
+ </resolution>
