|
15 |
Versions 143 and earlier of the pam_ldap module are vulnerable to a |
16 |
format string attack. A local attacker could supply a malicious |
17 |
format string when opening a configuration file, which could allow |
18 |
the attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system with elevated |
19 |
privileges. |
20 |
|
21 |
SOLUTION |
22 |
|
23 |
It is recommended that all Gentoo Linux users who are running |
24 |
net-libs/pam_ldap-134-r1 and earlier update their systems as follows: |
25 |
|
26 |
emerge rsync |
27 |
emerge pam_ldap |
28 |
emerge clean |
