Synopsis |
19 |
======== |
20 |
|
21 |
Multiple Denial of Service vulnerabilities have been reported in |
22 |
OpenLDAP. |
23 |
|
24 |
Background |
25 |
========== |
26 |
|
27 |
OpenLDAP Software is an open source implementation of the Lightweight |
28 |
Directory Access Protocol. |
29 |
|

Affected packages |

Description |
39 |
=========== |
40 |
|
41 |
The following errors have been discovered in OpenLDAP: |
42 |
|
43 |
* Tony Blake discovered an error which exists within the |
44 |
normalisation of "objectClasses" (CVE-2007-5707). |
45 |
|
46 |
* Thomas Sesselmann reported that, when running as a proxy-caching |
47 |
server the "add_filter_attrs()" function in |
48 |
servers/slapd/overlay/pcache.c does not correctly NULL terminate |
49 |
"new_attrs" (CVE-2007-5708). |
50 |
|
51 |
* A double-free bug exists in attrs_free() in the file |
52 |
servers/slapd/back-bdb/modrdn.c, which was discovered by Jonathan |
53 |
Clarke (CVE-2008-0658). |
54 |
|
55 |
Impact |
56 |
====== |
57 |
|
58 |
A remote attacker can cause a Denial of Serivce by sending a malformed |
59 |
"objectClasses" attribute, and via unknown vectors that prevent the |
60 |
"new_attrs" array from being NULL terminated, and via a modrdn |
61 |
operation with a NOOP (LDAP_X_NO_OPERATION) control. |
62 |
|
63 |
Workaround |
64 |
========== |
65 |
|
66 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
67 |
|
68 |
Resolution |
69 |
========== |
70 |
|
71 |
All OpenLDAP users should upgrade to the latest version: |
72 |
|
73 |
# emerge --sync |
74 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-nds/openldap-2.3.41" |
75 |
