Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.55724
Category:Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2005:190 (nss_ldap)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to nss_ldap
announced via advisory MDKSA-2005:190.

A bug was found in the way the pam_ldap module processed certain failure
messages. If the server includes supplemental data in an authentication
failure result message, but the data does not include any specific error
code, the pam_ldap module would proceed as if the authentication request
had succeeded, and authentication would succeed. This affects versions
169 through 179 of pam_ldap.

The updated packages have been patched to address this issue.

Affected versions: 10.1, 10.2

Solution:
To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification
of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you.
