A local file inclusion flaw was found in the way the phpLDAPadmin before 0.9.8 processed certain values of the "Accept-Language" HTTP header. A remote attacker could use this flaw to cause a denial of service via specially-crafted request.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Plain-English summary

phpLDAPadmin versions before 0.9.8 had a flaw in handling the Accept-Language HTTP header. A remote attacker could send a specially crafted request that may trigger denial of service. The public sources do not provide CVSS scoring, confirmed exploitation, or detailed remediation beyond the affected version boundary.

Executive priority

Prioritize if phpLDAPadmin is externally reachable or used in identity administration workflows. The business concern is service disruption to directory administration, not confirmed data theft. With no CVSS or exploitation evidence in the bundle, handle through targeted inventory and remediation rather than emergency response.

Technical view

CVE-2011-4082 is described as a local file inclusion issue in phpLDAPadmin before 0.9.8, reachable through processing of certain Accept-Language header values. The documented impact is denial of service from a remote request. No CWE, CVSS vector, exploit maturity, or detailed fixed package matrix is provided in the supplied bundle.

Likely exposure

Exposure is limited to environments running phpLDAPadmin versions before 0.9.8, especially if the application is reachable over a network. The sources do not identify affected operating system packages, deployment patterns, or whether authentication is required before the vulnerable header handling occurs.

Exploitation context

The source bundle says a remote attacker could cause denial of service with a specially crafted request. It does not cite active exploitation, public exploit availability, KEV listing, or observed attacks. Treat exploitation evidence as incomplete rather than absent.

Researcher notes

The record is sparse and unusually old, with NVD publication dated 2019 for a 2011 identifier. Key missing details include vulnerable code path, authentication preconditions, fixed commits, package status, and reliable exploit telemetry. Avoid expanding impact beyond the stated remote denial of service.

Mitigation direction

  • Inventory phpLDAPadmin deployments and identify any version before 0.9.8.
  • Move affected deployments off phpLDAPadmin before 0.9.8.
  • Check Debian, Red Hat, or vendor package guidance for supported fixed releases.
  • Retire unsupported phpLDAPadmin instances if an update path cannot be confirmed.

Validation and detection

  • Confirm installed phpLDAPadmin versions from package inventories or application metadata.
  • Verify no internet-facing service is running phpLDAPadmin before 0.9.8.
  • Review web access logs for abnormal requests targeting phpLDAPadmin language handling.
  • Document package source and maintainer advisory used to confirm remediation.
