"The remote MiracleLinux 3 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
AXSA:2008-79:02 advisory.

    OpenLDAP is an open source suite of LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) applications and
    development tools.
    LDAP is a set of protocols for accessing directory services (usually phone book style information, but
    other information is possible) over the Internet, similar to the way DNS (Domain Name System) information
    is propagated over the Internet. The openldap package contains configuration files, libraries, and
    documentation for OpenLDAP.
    CVE-2008-2952:
    liblber/io.c in OpenLDAP 2.2.4 to 2.4.10 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (program
    termination) via crafted ASN.1 BER datagrams that trigger an assertion error.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the MiracleLinux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
