Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.59067
Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu USN-384-1 (openldap2.2)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to openldap2.2
announced via advisory USN-384-1.

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 5.10
Ubuntu 6.06 LTS
Ubuntu 6.10

This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of
Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu.

Details follow:

Evgeny Legerov discovered that the OpenLDAP libraries did not correctly
truncate authcid names. This situation would trigger an assert and
abort the program using the libraries. A remote attacker could send
specially crafted bind requests that would lead to an LDAP server denial
of service.

Solution:
The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the
following package versions:

Ubuntu 5.10:
libldap-2.2-7 2.2.26-3ubuntu0.2

Ubuntu 6.06 LTS:
libldap-2.2-7 2.2.26-5ubuntu2.2

Ubuntu 6.10:
libldap-2.2-7 2.2.26-5ubuntu3.1

In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the
necessary changes.
