Package(s):mod-auth-shadow CVE #(s):CAN-2004-0041
Created:January 12, 2004 Updated:January 14, 2004
Description: David B Harris discovered a problem with mod-auth-shadow, an Apache module which authenticates users against the system shadow password database, where the expiration status of the user's account and password were not enforced. This vulnerability would allow an otherwise authorized user to successfully authenticate, when the attempt should be rejected due to the expiration parameters.
