Topic: CRITICAL SECURITY FIX of iRedAdmin on FreeBSD and OpenBSD

Dear all,

We just found a critical security issue of iRedAdmin (both open source edition and iRedAdmin-Pro) on FreeBSD and OpenBSD system, please upgrade it immediately.

Note: iRedMail-0.9.5-1 was repacked with new iRedAdmin release (0.6.2) which contains this fix today.

The Issue

iRedAdmin calls an incorrect function to verify BCRYPT password hash while admin trying to login, if the admin account exists, iRedAdmin accepts any password and the admin logs in.

Affected Linux/BSD distributions

BCRYPT is available on FreeBSD and OpenBSD, but not Linux, so this issue impacts only FreeBSD and OpenBSD systems.

Affected iRedAdmin versions

This bug was introduced in iRedAdmin (both open source edition and iRedAdmin-Pro) on May 3, 2016, versions released after May 3 contain this bug:

  • iRedAdmin-0.6.1 (shipped by iRedMail-0.9.5-1)

  • iRedAdmin-Pro-SQL-2.4.0

  • iRedAdmin-Pro-LDAP-2.6.0

How to fix it

Re: CRITICAL SECURITY FIX of iRedAdmin on FreeBSD and OpenBSD

For iRedAdmin-Pro, it's ok to apply the patch. But iRedAdmin-0.6.2 (open source edition) contains some additional improvements and bug fixes, it's recommended to upgrade it instead of applying the patch.

Re: CRITICAL SECURITY FIX of iRedAdmin on FreeBSD and OpenBSD

Hi, we try to patch, but we get back this error:

--
return bcrypt.checkpw(plain_password, challenge_password)
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'checkpw'
--

Us we understand this because we have "py-bcrypt-2.0.0", but support for checkpw  convenience method for verifying a password is supported only from version 3.1.0. Is any sollution without upgrading bcrypt to v.3.1 ???

Thanks

If you're running FreeBSD, you can get py-bcrypt 0.4 with the latest ports tree:

Then you have to upgrade the py-bcrypt manually with 'easy_install' or 'pip'. For example:

easy_install -U py-bcrypt

Re: CRITICAL SECURITY FIX of iRedAdmin on FreeBSD and OpenBSD

Seems there's confusion about 'py-bcrypt' (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/bcrypt) and another module 'bcrypt' (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/bcrypt). Please remove 'py-bcrypt' and install 'bcrypt' instead:

easy_install -U bcrypt

iRedMail uses the 'bcrypt' module.
