The remote host is missing an update to openldap2.3
announced via advisory USN-584-1.
A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:
Ubuntu 6.06 LTS
Ubuntu 6.10
Ubuntu 7.04

This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of
Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu.
Details follow:
Jonathan Clarke discovered that the OpenLDAP slapd server did not
properly handle modify requests when using the Berkeley DB backend
and the NOOP control was used. An authenticated user with modify
permissions could send a crafted modify request and cause a denial
of service via application crash. Ubuntu 7.10 is not affected by
this issue. (CVE-2007-6698)
Ralf Haferkamp discovered that the OpenLDAP slapd server did not
properly handle modrdn requests when using the Berkeley DB backend
and the NOOP control was used. An authenticated user with modrdn
permissions could send a crafted modrdn request and possibly cause a
denial of service via application crash. (CVE-2007-6698)
Solution:
The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the
following package versions:
Ubuntu 6.06 LTS:
slapd 2.2.26-5ubuntu2.6
Ubuntu 6.10:
slapd 2.2.26-5ubuntu3.3
Ubuntu 7.04:
slapd 2.3.30-2ubuntu0.2
Ubuntu 7.10:
slapd 2.3.35-1ubuntu0.2
In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the
necessary changes.
