    PhpWiki is an application that creates a web site where anyone can edit
    the pages through HTML forms.

  <description>
    <p>
    The PhpWiki development team reported an authentication error within
    the file lib/WikiUser/LDAP.php when binding to an LDAP server with an
    empty password.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="low">
    <p>
    A remote attacker could provide an empty password when authenticating.
    Depending on the LDAP implementation used, this could bypass the
    PhpWiki authentication mechanism and grant the attacker access to the
    application.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All PhpWiki users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=www-apps/phpwiki-1.3.14&quot;</code>
