Kolab Server Secure SMTP Message Logging Security Issue

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA18438

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/18438/

CRITICAL:
Less critical

IMPACT:
Exposure of sensitive information

WHERE:
Local system

SOFTWARE:
Kolab Server 2.x
http://secunia.com/product/6797/

DESCRIPTION:
A security issue has been reported in Kolab Server, which potentially
can be exploited by malicious, local users to disclose certain
sensitive information.

The security issue is caused due to users' passwords being logged to
"/kolab/var/postfix/log/postfix.log" in the default configuration of
the Kolab Server, when the users authenticate via secure SMTP. This
can potentially be exploited by local users to disclose the
passwords.

Successful exploitation requires that readable permissions have not
been removed from the log file.

The vulnerability has been reported in versions 2.0.1 and 2.0.2, and
in development versions prior to pre-2.1-20051215. Prior versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 2.0.3.
