PACKAGE : openldap
SUMMARY : Remote DoS vulnerability in openldap
DATE : 2001-08-29 15:47:00
ID : CLA-2001:417
RELEVANT
RELEASES : 4.1, 4.2, 5.0, prg graficos, ecommerce, 5.1, 6.0, 7.0

DESCRIPTION
OpenLDAP is an LDAPv2 and LDAPv3 (starting with version 2.0.x)
server.
The PROTOS[2] project conducted several protocol tests with many
different LDAP servers. It was verified[3] that OpenLDAP versions
before 1.2.11 and 2.0.8 (from the 2.0.x series) have a remote denial
of service vulnerability that allows a remote attacker to disrupt the
service.
SOLUTION
It is recommended that all OpenLDAP users upgrade their packages.
Some remarks:
- it IS necessary to manually restart the service after applying the
update. Execute "/etc/rc.d/init.d/ldap restart";
- the openldap2 package (please note the version number together with
the name) supplied for CL6.0 is experimental, openldap-1.2.x is the
recommended version for that distribution. In particular, it is not
possible to have openldap version 1.2.x and openldap2 installed at
the same time in CL6.0;
- the openldap1 package (please note the version number together with
the name) supplied for CL7.0 only has the dynamic libraries in it: no
program in CL7.0 requires this package and is is provided only for
compatibility reasons.
