The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200711-33 (nss_ldap: Information disclosure)

Josh Burley reported that nss_ldap does not properly handle the LDAP     connections due to a race condition that can be triggered by     multi-threaded applications using nss_ldap, which might lead to     requested data being returned to a wrong process.

Impact :

Remote attackers could exploit this race condition by sending queries     to a vulnerable server using nss_ldap, possibly leading to theft of     user credentials or information disclosure (e.g. Dovecot returning     wrong mailbox contents).

Workaround :

There is no known workaround at this time.
