| CVE Name | CVE-2009-0041 |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Description | IAX2 provides a different response during authentication |
| | when a user does not exist, as compared to when the |
| | password is merely wrong. This allows an attacker to |
| | scan a host to find specific users on which to |
| | concentrate password cracking attempts. |
| | |
| | The workaround involves sending back responses that are |
| | valid for that particular site. For example, if it were |
| | known that a site only uses RSA authentication, then |
| | sending back an MD5 authentication request would |
| | similarly identify the user as not existing. The |
| | opposite is also true. So the solution is always to send |
| | back an authentication response that corresponds to a |
| | known frequency with which real authentication responses |
| | are returned, when the user does not exist. This makes |
| | it very difficult for an attacker to guess whether a |
| | user exists or not, based upon this particular |
| | mechanism. |
