Description: Conectiva has issued updated packages for OpenLDAP. These fix an older vulnerability, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) on a vulnerable system. The problem is that during the authentication process a failed password extended operation can result in OpenLDAP trying to free an uninitialised structure. This causes the program to crash. The vulnerability only exists when using the back-ldbm backend, which reportedly also has a memory leak. Solution: This was fixed in OpenLDAP version 2.1.17. Updated packages: -- Conectiva Linux 9 -- ftp://atualizacoes.conectiva.com.br/9/RPMS/openldap-2.1.21-31798U90_1cl.i386.rpm ftp://atualizacoes.conectiva.com.br/9...p-client-2.1.21-31798U90_1cl.i386.rpm ftp://atualizacoes.conectiva.com.br/9...ap-devel-2.1.21-31798U90_1cl.i386.rpm ftp://atualizacoes.conectiva.com.br/9...l-static-2.1.21-31798U90_1cl.i386.rpm ftp://atualizacoes.conectiva.com.br/9...ldap-doc-2.1.21-31798U90_1cl.i386.rpm ftp://atualizacoes.conectiva.com.br/9...p-server-2.1.21-31798U90_1cl.i386.rpm SRPM: ftp://atualizacoes.conectiva.com.br/9/SRPMS/openldap-2.1.21-31798U90_1cl.src.rpm Provided and/or discovered by: Ralf Haferkamp Original Advisory: http://www.openldap.org/its/index.cgi?findid=2390
