Description:
OpenLDAP is an open source suite of LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access
Protocol) applications and development tools.
Multiple flaws were discovered in the way the slapd daemon handled modify
relative distinguished name (modrdn) requests. An authenticated user with
privileges to perform modrdn operations could use these flaws to crash the
slapd daemon via specially-crafted modrdn requests. (CVE-2010-0211,
CVE-2010-0212)
Red Hat would like to thank CERT-FI for responsibly reporting these flaws,
who credit Ilkka Mattila and Tuomas Salomki for the discovery of the
issues.
Users of OpenLDAP should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain
a backported patch to correct these issues. After installing this update,
the OpenLDAP daemons will be restarted automatically.Read more at www.criticalwatch.com |
