hfaxd in HylaFAX before 4.2.1, when installed with a "weak" hosts.hfaxd file, allows remote attackers to authenticate and bypass intended access restrictions via a crafted (1) username or (2) hostname that satisfies a regular expression that is matched against a hosts.hfaxd entry without a password.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2004-1182 is an authentication bypass in HylaFAX hfaxd before 4.2.1. A weak hosts.hfaxd access file could let a remote attacker appear trusted using a crafted username or hostname. Business risk depends mainly on whether HylaFAX is still deployed and reachable. Exposure is likely limited to legacy HylaFAX installations, especially hfaxd services reachable from untrusted networks and configured with permissive passwordless hosts.hfaxd regular-expression entries. Treat this as a targeted legacy-service risk. Prioritize if fax infrastructure remains operational, internet-reachable, or trusted by business workflows. If HylaFAX is retired or isolated, urgency is lower but cleanup should still be scheduled. Mitigation focus: Upgrade HylaFAX to 4.2.1 or a vendor-supported fixed package.; Review hosts.hfaxd and remove passwordless permissive regular-expression entries.; Restrict hfaxd network access to trusted management or application hosts..
