Discussion

PADL Software PAM_LDAP TLS Plaintext Password Vulnerability

PAM_LDAP is affected by a password disclosure vulnerability when used with TLS.

This issue arises when a connection to a slave is established using TLS and the client is referred to a master. TLS is not used with this connection, which can allow an attacker to sniff network traffic and obtain user credentials.

PAM_LDAP build 166 is known to be vulnerable at the moment. Other versions may be affected as well.
