How to Fix CVE-2022-24732

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Github.com/foxcpp/maddy dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

github.com/foxcpp/maddy fixed: 0.5.4 
Upgrade github.com/foxcpp/maddy to 0.5.4
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

inspect dependencies for github.com/foxcpp/maddy

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by CVE-2022-24732, inspect your project dependencies for Github.com/foxcpp/maddy:

inspect dependencies for github.com/foxcpp/maddy

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Github.com/foxcpp/maddy in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 0.5.4), your application is affected.

Note: Verify declared build manifests and deployed runtime container environments.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-613: Insufficient Session Expiration, where according to wasc, "insufficient session expiration is when a web site permits an attacker to reuse old session credentials or session ids for authorization.". In Github.com/foxcpp/maddy, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

### Impact Any configuration on any maddy version <0.5.4 using auth.pam is affected. No password expiry or account expiry checking is done when authenticating using PAM. ### Patches Patch is available as part of the 0.5.4 release. ### Workarounds If /etc/shadow authentication is used, it is possible to replace auth.pam with auth.shadow which is not affected. It is possible to blacklist expired accounts via existing filtering mechanisms (e.g. auth_map to invalid accounts in storage.imapsql). ### References * https://github.com/foxcpp/maddy/blob/3412e59a2c92106e194fa69f2f1017c020037c9c/internal/auth/pam/pam.c * https://linux.die.net/man/3/pam_acct_mgmt ### For more information If you have any questions or comments about this advisory: * Open an issue in https://github.com/foxcpp/maddy * Email fox.cpp@disroot.org
