Bug 120352 - net-proxy/paros <= 3.2.5 default 'sa' password, db and system access
Bug#: 120352 Product:  Gentoo Security Version: unspecified Platform: All
OS/Version: Linux Status: RESOLVED Severity: normal Priority: P2

Summary: net-proxy/paros <= 3.2.5 default 'sa' password, db and system access
Keywords:  
Status Whiteboard: B1 [glsa]
Opened: 2006-01-25 15:40 0000
Description:   Opened: 2006-01-25 15:40 0000 
Affects: net-proxy/paros <= 3.2.5

Paros's HSQLDB integrated database application (in Java) has a default blank
'sa' password.

this allows access to all Paros information in the application database (which
may be particularly sensitive as Paros is a security auditing application), and
access to execute arbitary Java statements (part of stored procedure
functionality).

because it is installed as an application, system access may be possible if a
security policy is not properly defined for the JVM (most JVM's don't have
one).

Resolution: upgrade to 3.2.8, purge older ebuilds from portage.

I've marked 3.2.8 stable on x86 (its probation time elapsed anyway), erased old
versions (excepting the latest stable - 3.2.4) and I've bumped to 3.2.9.
