Descriptions

Simple Machines Forum (SMF), probably 1.1.4, relies on "randomly generated static" to hinder brute-force attacks on the WAV file (aka audio) CAPTCHA, which allows remote attackers to pass the CAPTCHA test via an automated attack that considers Hamming distances. NOTE: this issue reportedly exists because of an insufficient fix for CVE-2007-3308.

Simple Machines Forum (SMF), probablemente 1.1.4, se basa en "estática generada aleatoriamente" para obstaculizar ataques de fuerza bruta en el fichero WAV (también conocido como audio) CAPTCHA, lo cual permite a atacantes remotos pasar el test CAPTCHA a través de un ataque automatizado que considera distancias Hamming. NOTA: esta cuestión existe al parecer a causa de un insuficiente aprieto para CVE-2007-3308.
