Title: ZPop3D Bad Login Logging Failure Vulnerability
Severity: MODERATE
Description:
zpop3d is a freely available, open source Post Office Protocol 3 Daemon. It is available for the Unix and Linux Operating Systems.
A problem with zpop3d could make it possible for a remote user to launch an undetected brute force attack against the daemon. The problem is in the logging functions of the program.
zpop3d does not provide sufficient logging facilities. When a user attempts to log into a zpop3d server and does not provide sufficient credentials, the attempt is not logged.
This could allow a remote user to launch a brute force crack attack using various username and password combinations without being detected by system logging facilities.
Affected Products:
- zpop3d zpop3d 0.6.0.0
