Description Roland Hopferwieser 2008-08-18 19:58:42 UTC
"WebAuth is an authentication system for web pages and web applications. The first time a user attempts to access a web page protected by WebAuth, they will be sent to a central login server (weblogin.stanford.edu at Stanford) and prompted to authenticate. Normally, they will be asked for a username and password, although other authentication methods are possible. Once the user has logged in, the weblogin server will send their encrypted identity back to the original web page they were trying to access. Their identity will also be stored in a cookie set by the weblogin server and they will not need to authenticate again until their credentials expire, even if they visit multiple protected web sites." --  http://www.stanford.edu/services/webauth/

(this is an automated message based on filtering criteria that matched this bug)
'EBUILD' is in the KEYWORDS which should mean that there is a ebuild attached 
to this bug.
This bug is assigned to maintainer-wanted which means that it is not in the 
main tree.
Heuristics show that no Gentoo developer has commented on your ebuild.

Hello, The Gentoo Team would like to firstly thank you for your ebuild 
submission. We also apologize for not being able to accommodate you in a timely
manner. There are simply too many new packages.

Allow me to use this opportunity to introduce you to Gentoo Sunrise. The 
sunrise overlay[1] is a overlay for Gentoo which we allow trusted users to 
commit to and all users can have ebuilds reviewed by Gentoo devs for entry 
into the overlay. So, the sunrise team is suggesting that you look into this 
and submit your ebuild to the overlay where even *you* can commit to. =)

Because this is a mass message, we are also asking you to be patient with us. 
We anticipate a large number of requests in a short time. 

Thanks,
On behalf of the Gentoo Sunrise Team,
Jeremy.

Name:      CVE-2009-2945
URL:       http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2009-2945
Published: 2009-09-15

weblogin/login.fcgi (aka the WebLogin login script) in Stanford
University WebAuth 3.5.5, 3.6.0, and 3.6.1 places passwords in URLs in
certain circumstances involving conversion of a POST request to a GET
request, which allows context-dependent attackers to discover passwords
by reading (1) web-server access logs, (2) web-server Referer logs, or
(3) the browser history.

Please ensure this issue is fixed before bringing this package into the tree.
