Description

Francisco Amato has reported a weakness in Novell iChain, which can be exploited by malicious people to potentially brute force a user's password.

The problem is that the miniFTP server does not limit the number of invalid logins nor logs these. This may eventually allow a malicious person to guess a valid password.

The miniFTP server reportedly also returns error messages when an invalid username is supplied.

The weakness has been reported in version 2.3. Other versions may also be affected.


Solution
Update to Support Pack 4 Interim Release 1 version 2.3.314.
