Overview

CVE-2007-4364 is a high-severity vulnerability affecting fedoraproject commons. It was published on August 15, 2007 and has a CVSS 2.0 base score of 8.5 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 2.0 base score of 8.5, rated HIGH. It can be exploited remotely over the network. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.

Technical description

Fedora Commons before 2.2.1 does not properly handle certain authentication requests involving Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI), related to (1) a nonexistent account name in combination with an empty password, which allows remote attackers to trigger a certain "unexpected / strange response" from an LDAP server, and (2) a reauthentication attempt that throws an exception, which allows remote attackers to trigger use of a cached authentication decision. NOTE: authentication can be bypassed by using vector 1 followed by vector 2, and possibly can be bypassed by using a single vector.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories and patches from fedoraproject. Update commons to the latest patched version. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
