Description:
A vulnerability has been identified in the WebMin, which can be exploited by malicious people to bypass the authentication process.
The vulnerability is caused due to an input validation error in the "miniserv.pl" webserver. The problem is that it is possible to include a pipe '|' in the BASE64 encoded authentication block.
Access to the Webmin interface could be exploited to alter system configuration and gain system access.
