A vulnerability has been identified in Mandriva, which could allow malicious users to gain knowledge of sensitive information. This issue is caused due to Kolab v1 using HTTP GET requests rather than HTTP POST requests and recording user passwords in the Apache log files, which could be exploited by local attackers with access to the Apache log files to harvest user passwords and possibly other sensitive data.
