high Nessus Plugin ID 85925

Language:

Synopsis

The remote FreeBSD host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

Bugzilla Security Advisory

Login names (usually an email address) longer than 127 characters are silently truncated in MySQL which could cause the domain name of the email address to be corrupted. An attacker could use this vulnerability to create an account with an email address different from the one originally requested. The login name could then be automatically added to groups based on the group's regular expression setting.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
