What is CVE-2007-4364?
CVE-2007-4364 is a high-severity authentication bypass vulnerability in n/a, published on 15 Aug 2007. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.
Official 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.
