Description:   Opened: 2005-10-01 03:19 0000 
From Debian Security Advisory DSA 830-1
CVE ID         : CAN-2005-2962

Drew Parsons noticed that the post-installation script of ntlmaps, an
NTLM authorisation proxy server, changes the permissions of the
configuration file to be world-readable.  It contains the user name
and password of the Windows NT system that ntlmaps connects to and,
hence, leaks them to lokal users.

On Gentoo :
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 8523 Oct  1 12:14 /etc/ntlmaps/server.cfg

Here we consider that it's up to the user to protect confidential information
with the right permissions, but it's a bad default permission for sure.

Secure the permissions on the config file

net-proxy please advise.

------- Comment #3 From Alin Năstac 2005-10-06 13:33:02 0000 ------- 
the patch would be ok if the ntlmaps service wouldn't run as user nobody.
I'll see what I can do about that.

------- Comment #4 From Alin Năstac 2005-10-06 14:43:49 0000 ------- 
fixed in 0.9.9.5-r1 and 0.9.9-r2. the later has been commited as x86.

now the ebuild creates ntlmaps user & group and run the service as ntlmaps.
also the new versions replace the permissions and group of the existing
/etc/ntlmaps/server.cfg, which I intend to keep it for awhile.

Thx Alin. 
 
Arches please test and mark stable.

------- Comment #6 From Fernando J. Pereda (RETIRED) 2005-10-10 06:00:39 0000 ------- 
Stable on alpha

Cheers,
Ferdy

ia64 stable.

------- Comment #8 From Andrej Kacian (RETIRED) 2005-10-11 06:56:44 0000 ------- 
Should 0.9.9.5-r1 go to stable as well? This bug is a bit unclear about that.

------- Comment #9 From Thierry Carrez (RETIRED) 2005-10-11 07:02:08 0000 ------- 
No, 0.9.9.5-r1 doesn't /need/ to go stable.

------- Comment #10 From Andrej Kacian (RETIRED) 2005-10-11 07:08:54 0000 ------- 
Why is x86@ still CCed then? Alin committed 0.9.9-r2 directly as stable on x86,
see comment #4.

------- Comment #11 From Sune Kloppenborg Jeppesen 2005-10-13 22:35:42 0000 ------- 
Thx. All stable -> Closing without GLSA.
