Mandrake Linux Security Update Advisory
| Package name: | pam_ldap |
| Advisory ID: | MDKSA-2003:088 |
| Date: | September 2nd, 2003 |
| Affected versions: | 9.1 |
Problem Description:
A bug was fixed in pam_ldap 162 with the pam_filter mechanism
which is commonly used for host-based access restriction in
environments using LDAP for authentication. Mandrake Linux 9.1
provided pam_ldap 161 which had this problem and as a result,
systems relying on pam_filter for host-based access restriction
would allow any user, regardless of the host attribute associated
with their account, to log into the system. All users who use
LDAP-based authentication are encouraged to upgrade
immediately.
