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.
