Background ========== OpenLDAP is a suite of LDAP-related applications and development tools. It includes slapd (the standalone LDAP server), slurpd (the standalone LDAP replication server), various LDAP libraries, utilities and example clients. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 net-nsd/openldap < 2.3.22 >= 2.3.22 Description =========== slurpd contains a buffer overflow when reading very long hostnames from the status file. Impact ====== By injecting an overly long hostname in the status file, an attacker could possibly cause the execution of arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running slurpd. Workaround ========== There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========== All openLDAP users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-nds/openldap-2.3.22" References ========== [ 1 ] CVE-2006-2754 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-2754 Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200606-17.xml Concerns? ========= Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us.
