    Package : nss-pam-ldapd
    Vulnerability : buffer overflow
    Problem type : local (remote)
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE ID : CVE-2013-0288
    Debian Bug : 690319

    Garth Mollett discovered that a file descriptor overflow issue in the
    use of FD_SET() in nss-pam-ldapd, which provides NSS and PAM modules for
    using LDAP as a naming service, can lead to a stack-based buffer
    overflow. An attacker could, under some circumstances, use this flaw to
    cause a process that has the NSS or PAM module loaded to crash or
    potentially execute arbitrary code.

    For the stable distribution (squeeze) this problem has been fixed in
    version 0.7.15+squeeze3.

    For the testing distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in
    version 0.8.10-3.

    For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
    version 0.8.10-3.

    We recommend that you upgrade your nss-pam-ldapd packages.
