CVE-2011-2483

Publication date 25 August 2011

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Medium

Why this priority?

crypt_blowfish before 1.1, as used in PHP before 5.3.7 on certain platforms, PostgreSQL before 8.4.9, and other products, does not properly handle 8-bit characters, which makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to determine a cleartext password by leveraging knowledge of a password hash.

Notes

jdstrand

libcrypt-eksblowfish-perl not affected per Debian (fixed in 2007) see redhat bug on php5 patches. A regression was introduced in 5.3.7 postgresql needs more than upstream patch

mdeslaur

setting john priority to low, since it's not really a security issue, and Ubuntu doesn't use blowfish hashes.
