(In reply to IanB from comment #0) > This issue was reported on the ldapvi mailing list back in 2007! > http://lists.askja.de/pipermail/ldapvi/2007-October/000041.html Do you think you have a solution for this bug? If you make a non-lazy more thought-through patch, I would take a look and talk with the upstream about the inclusion. > This issue should be fixed, or the 'ldapvi' package removed from Fedora > repos due to the potential security issue it poses. I don't think this is a security issue. ldapvi is meant for people who know what they are doing and editing hashed passwords in $EDITOR doesn’t look like an activity of such person. Fedora 22 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-07-19. Fedora 22 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
Description of problem: Adding or modifying an attribute which has a hash encoded value (e.g. userPassword) results in the supplied value not being hashed properly. Instead, the result is the hash of the string '{SSHA}' (or whichever encoding was specified) How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. edit existing posixAccount entry, update 'userPassword' field with: userPassword:ssha foo 2. apply modification. Value is hashed 3. attempt to authenticate the user using password 'foo'. It will fail 4. attempt to authenticate the user using password '{SSHA}'. It will succeed! Additional info: This issue was reported on the ldapvi mailing list back in 2007! http://lists.askja.de/pipermail/ldapvi/2007-October/000041.html This issue should be fixed, or the 'ldapvi' package removed from Fedora repos due to the potential security issue it poses.
