Description

A bug in the authentication code of hfaxd has been fixed that allowed attackers to gain unauthorized access to the fax system by guessing the content of the hosts.hfaxd file.

Please note that entries in hosts.hfaxd that are of the form

192.168.0 username:uid:pass:adminpass user@host

will no longer work after this update. Such entries should be changed into

192.168.0.[0-9]+ username@:uid:pass:adminpass user@host

If possible delimiters for the regular expressions should be used:

@192.168.0.[0-9]+$ ^username@:uid:pass:adminpass ^user@host$
