PACKAGE   : openldap
SUMMARY   : Remote DoS vulnerability in openldap
DATE      : 2001-08-29 15:47:00
ID        : CLA-2001:417

DESCRIPTION
 OpenLDAP is an LDAPv2 and LDAPv3 (starting with version 2.0.x)
 server.
 The PROTOS[2] project conducted several protocol tests with many
 different LDAP servers. It was verified[3] that OpenLDAP versions
 before 1.2.11 and 2.0.8 (from the 2.0.x series) have a remote denial
 of service vulnerability that allows a remote attacker to disrupt the
 service.


SOLUTION
 It is recommended that all OpenLDAP users upgrade their packages.
 Some remarks:
 - it IS necessary to manually restart the service after applying the
 update. Execute "/etc/rc.d/init.d/ldap restart";
 - the openldap2 package (please note the version number together with
 the name) supplied for CL6.0 is experimental, openldap-1.2.x is the
 recommended version for that distribution. In particular, it is not
 possible to have openldap version 1.2.x and openldap2 installed at
 the same time in CL6.0;
 - the openldap1 package (please note the version number together with
 the name) supplied for CL7.0 only has the dynamic libraries in it: no
 program in CL7.0 requires this package and is is provided only for
 compatibility reasons.
