Description

Alexander Gerasiov discovered a flaw in login.php preventing the application from validating whether anonymous bind has been disabled in the target LDAP server configuration.

Workaround :

There is no known workaround at this time.

# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose '>=net-nds/phpldapadmin-0.9.7_alpha6'
