MDVSA-2010:142: MDVSA-2010:142 - openldap - Multiple vulnerabilities
Mandriva Linux Security
Problem Description:
Multiple vulnerabilities has been discovered and corrected in openldap:
The slap_modrdn2mods function in modrdn.c in OpenLDAP 2.4.22 does not
check the return value of a call to the smr_normalize function, which
allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation
fault) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a modrdn call with an
RDN string containing invalid UTF-8 sequences, which triggers a free
of an invalid, uninitialized pointer in the slap_mods_free function, as
demonstrated using the Codenomicon LDAPv3 test suite (CVE-2010-0211).Read more at www.criticalwatch.com
