Short explanation

A flaw exists in the BusyBox httpd web server where a user existence oracle may occur in specific build configurations when configured with system password authentication and shadow passwords disabled [S0].

Why does it matter?

It allows attackers to enumerate valid usernames by observing authentication failure behavior, though default builds remain unaffected [S0].

What should be done?

  • Follow vendor advisories [S0]
  • Use default builds with shadow password support [S0]

Show the technical text from the sources

A flaw was found in BusyBox's httpd web server. When configured with system password authentication, a user existence oracle may exist in certain build configurations. An attacker could distinguish existing from non-existing usernames by observing authentication failure behavior. Impact is limited to username enumeration and requires non-default compile options or uncommon password file states; default BusyBox builds with shadow password support are not affected.
