Vulnerability : several
Problem type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id(s) : CVE-2010-0211 CVE-2010-0212
Two remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in OpenLDAP. The
Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following
problems:
CVE-2010-0211
The slap_modrdn2mods function in modrdn.c in OpenLDAP 2.4.22 does
not check the return value of a call to the smr_normalize
function, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of
service (segmentation fault) and possibly execute arbitrary code
via a modrdn call with an RDN string containing invalid UTF-8
sequences.
CVE-2010-0212
OpenLDAP 2.4.22 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of
service (crash) via a modrdn call with a zero-length RDN
destination string.
For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
version 2.4.11-1+lenny2. (The missing update for the mips
architecture will be provided soon.)
For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
version 2.4.23-1.
We recommend that you upgrade your openldap packages.
