| Description: |
The remote host is missing an update to nss_ldap
announced via advisory MDVSA-2008:049.
A race condition in nss_ldap, when used in applications that use
pthread and fork after a call to nss_ldap, does not properly handle the
LDAP connection, which might cause nss_ldap to return the wrong user
data to the wrong process, giving one user access to data belonging
to another user, in some cases.
The updated package hais been patched to prevent this issue.
Affected: 2007.0, Corporate 4.0
Solution:
To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification
of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you.
