Title: NTLM Authorization Proxy Server Insecure Configuration File Permissions Vulnerability
Severity: MODERATE
Description:
NTLM Authorization Proxy Server (ntlmaps) is proxy software that allows users to authenticate via an MS Proxy Server using the proprietary NTLM protocol.
ntlmaps is prone to a vulnerability regarding insecure permissions on the configuration file. This issue is due to a configuration error in the post-installation script that changes the permissions on the configuration file to be world readable. The configuration file contains the user name and password of the Microsoft Windows NT system that ntlmaps connects to.
A local attacker can exploit this vulnerability to retrieve the username and password to the Microsoft Windows NT system that ntlmaps connects to.
