CVE-2007-4364 Information

Description

Fedora Commons before 2.2.1 does not properly handle certain authentication requests involving Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) related to (1) a nonexistent account name in combination with an empty password which allows remote attackers to trigger a certain \unexpected / strange response\ from an LDAP server and (2) a reauthentication attempt that throws an exception which allows remote attackers to trigger use of a cached authentication decision. NOTE: authentication can be bypassed by using vector 1 followed by vector 2 and possibly can be bypassed by using a single vector.
