Descriptions

Revive Adserver before 3.2.3 suffers from Improper Restriction of Excessive Authentication Attempts. The login page of Revive Adserver is vulnerable to password-guessing attacks. An account lockdown feature was considered, but rejected to avoid introducing service disruptions to regular users during such attacks. A random delay has instead been introduced as a countermeasure in case of password failures, along with a system to discourage parallel brute forcing. These systems will effectively allow the valid users to log in to the adserver, even while an attack is in progress.

Revive Adserver en versiones anteriores a 3.2.3. sufre de restricción incorrecta de intentos de autenticación excesiva. La página de inicio de sesión de Revive Adserver es vulnerable a los ataques de detección de contraseña. Una característica de bloqueo de cuenta ha sido considerada, pero se rechazó para evitar la introducción de interrupciones del servicio a usuarios regulares durante dichos ataques. Un retraso aleatorio se ha introducido como una contramedida en caso de fallos de contraseña, junto con un sistema para desalentar el forzamiento bruto paralelo. Estos sistemas permitirán efectivamente que los usuarios válidos inicien sesión en el adserver, incluso mientras un ataque está en progreso.
