                 Mandrakelinux Security Update Advisory
 _______________________________________________________________________

 Package name:           kolab-server
 Advisory ID:            MDKSA-2004:052
 Date:                   May 26th, 2004

 Affected versions:	 10.0
 ______________________________________________________________________

 Problem Description:

 Luca Villani reported the disclosure of critical configuration
 information within Kolab, the KDE Groupware server. The affected
 versions store OpenLDAP passwords in plain text. The heart of Kolab
 is an engine written in Perl that rewrites configuration for certain
 applications based on templates. The build() function in the engine 
 left slapd.conf world-readable exhibiting the OpenLDAP root password.
