    <p>
    DBMail is a mail storage and retrieval daemon that uses SQL databases
    as its data store. IMAP and POP3 can be used to retrieve mails from the
    database.

  <description>
    <p>
    A vulnerability in DBMail's authldap module when used in conjunction
    with an Active Directory server has been reported by vugluskr. When
    passing a zero length password to the module, it tries to bind
    anonymously to the LDAP server. If the LDAP server allows anonymous
    binds, this bind succeeds and results in a successful authentication to
    DBMail.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="low">
    <p>
    By passing an empty password string to the server, an attacker could be
    able to log in to any account.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All DBMail users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=net-mail/dbmail-2.2.9"</code>
  </resolution>
