NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream cacti package and not the cacti package as distributed by Echo. See How to fix? for Echo:latest relevant fixed versions and status.

In Cacti 1.2.19, there is an authentication bypass in the web login functionality because of improper validation in the PHP code: cacti_ldap_auth() allows a zero as the password.
