Title:	RedHat Security Advisory RHSA-2006:0719
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing updates announced in advisory RHSA-2006:0719. nss_ldap is a set of C library extensions that allow X.500 and LDAP directory servers to be used as primary sources for aliases, ethers, groups, hosts, networks, protocols, users, RPCs, services, and shadow passwords. A flaw was found in the way nss_ldap handled a PasswordPolicyResponse control sent by an LDAP server. If an LDAP server responded to an authentication request with a PasswordPolicyResponse control, it was possible for an application using nss_ldap to improperly authenticate certain users. (CVE-2006-5170) This flaw was only exploitable within applications which did not properly process nss_ldap error messages. Only xscreensaver is currently known to exhibit this behavior. All users of nss_ldap should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch that resolves this issue. Solution: Please note that this update is available via Red Hat Network. To use Red Hat Network, launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command: up2date http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2006-0719.html http://www.redhat.com/security/updates/classification/#moderate Risk factor : High CVSS Score: 7.5
