Description:
Keigo Yamazaki has reported a vulnerability in Webmin and Usermin, which can be exploited by malicious people to bypass certain security restrictions.
The vulnerability is caused due to an input validation error in the authentication process in "miniserv.pl". This can be exploited to access Webmin or Usermin without providing a valid username and password.
Successful exploitation requires that full PAM conversations has been enabled via the Authentication page (not default setting).
The vulnerability has been reported in Webmin versions prior to 1.230 and Usermin versions prior to 1.160.
