Package: libapache-authenhook-perl
Version: 2.00-04+pristine-1+b1
Severity: grave
Tags: security
Justification: user security hole

Apache::AuthenHook seemingly logs _all_ usernames and passwords, in clear text,
to the vhost's error log:

      ap_log_rerror(APLOG_MARK, APLOG_INFO, 0, r,
                    "Apache::AuthenHook - user '%s', password '%s' verified",
                    user, password);

As far as I can see, this behavior is not documented, and impossible to turn
off (it's hard-coded in the C file) except by raising the log level.
I've verified that they do indeed show up in the vhost's logs:

  [Sun Oct 10 13:18:45 2010] [info] [client 80.218.213.43] Apache::AuthenHook - 
user 'Sesse', password '<censored for this bug report>' verified

There's no good reason for this except for debugging, and even in that case,
it should only be possible to enable for the Apache admin.
