CVE-2026-44052 Details
Description
Netatalk 2.1.0 through 4.4.2 inserts LDAP simple-bind passwords into log output in cleartext, which allows an attacker with access to the log files to obtain LDAP credentials.
A vulnerability in Netatalk versions 2.1.0 through 4.4.2 allows for the exposure of LDAP simple-bind passwords in the log output. This occurs when a bind failure is logged, potentially revealing sensitive authentication information to users or systems with access to the Netatalk logs. The issue arises during normal LDAP outages or restarts, where service account credentials can be inadvertently disclosed.
Users can upgrade to Netatalk version 4.4.3 or later, which addresses this vulnerability. Alternatively, the patch available as 'CVE-2026-44052.patch' can be applied to a Netatalk 4.4.2 source tree.
