Descriptions

DaoAuthenticationProvider in VMware SpringSource Spring Security before 2.0.8, 3.0.x before 3.0.8, and 3.1.x before 3.1.3 does not check the password if the user is not found, which makes the response delay shorter and might allow remote attackers to enumerate valid usernames via a series of login requests.

DaoAuthenticationProvider en VMware SpringSource Spring Security antes de v2.0.8, v3.0.x antes de v3.0.8, y v3.1.x antes de v3.1.3 no comprueba la contraseña si el usuario no se encuentra, lo que hace que la respuesta de retardo sea menor y podría permitir a atacantes remotos para enumerar los nombres de usuario válidos a través de una serie de solicitudes de inicio de sesión.
