Category:Red Hat Local Security Checks
Title:RedHat Security Advisory RHSA-2008:0389
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing updates announced in
advisory RHSA-2008:0389.

The nss_ldap package contains the nss_ldap and pam_ldap modules. The
nss_ldap module is a plug-in which allows applications to retrieve
information about users and groups from a directory server. The pam_ldap
module allows PAM-aware applications to use a directory server to verify
user passwords.

A race condition was discovered in nss_ldap which affected certain
applications which make LDAP connections, such as Dovecot. This could cause
nss_ldap to answer a request for information about one user with
information about a different user. (CVE-2007-5794)
