COMMAND
GroupWise default username / password
SYSTEMS AFFECTED
Groupwise 5.5 Enhancement Pack
Groupwise 6.0
PROBLEM
Adam Gray found following :
default username and password exists that controls the servlet manager.
The servlet manager allows the configuration of the servlets to be
loaded, reloaded or unloaded. This is more of an annoyance than a
exploit. The ability to control and unload servlets allows an attacker
to deny web based services to users. This will prevent users from
accessing mail or other servlet based resources.
Exploit
=======
http://server/servlet/ServletManager
username servlet
password manager
SOLUTION
Change the password:
Edit the SYS:\\JAVA\\SERVLETS\\SERVLET.PROPERTIES file. There is a
section for ServletManager like the following:
# ServletManager servlet
servlet.ServletManager.code=com.novell.application.ServletGateway.ServletManager
servlet.ServletManager.initArgs=datamethod=POST,user=servlet,password=manager,bgcolor
#c0c0c0
servlet.ServletManager.preload=true
