Title:         Possible DoS on openldap
Ticket ID:     #624
Ticket URL:    http://bugs.pld.org.pl/?bug=624
Package:       openldap-1:2.0.27-3
Distribution:  PLD-1.0.updates.security
Category:      security problem
Current state: opened
Text:

The Security advisory from Suse SuSE-SA:2003:0008
has the following note, which I don't know if it applies to PLD:

The BER decoding routines of the openldap2 packages for                                              SL 8.1 and SLES8 contained a bug which allowed remote attackers                                       to mount a DoS attack against vulnerable OpenLDAP servers. It is necessary to update the openldap2-devel, openldap2-client and openldap2 packages in order to prevent such attack.                                                  

This seems to be different from 

Revision 1.121  2002/12/09 15:11:18  qboosh
- added secpatch patch from SuSE (buffer overflows etc.)

which steems from an earlier Security anouncement from SuSE.
