Insight
OpenLDAP is an open source suite of Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) applications and development tools. LDAP is a set of protocols for accessing directory services.
These updated openldap packages fix a flaw in the way the OpenLDAP slapd daemon handled modify and modrdn requests with NOOP control on objects stored in a Berkeley DB (BDB) storage backend. An authenticated attacker with permission to perform modify or modrdn operations on such LDAP objects could cause slapd to crash. (CVE-2007-6698, CVE-2008-0658)
Users of openldap should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct this issue.
Affected
openldap on Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 4, Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 4,
Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 4,
Red Hat Enterprise Linux (v. 5 server)
