"Updated nss_ldap packages are now available for Red Hat Linux Advanced
Server 2.1. These updates fix a potential buffer overflow which can
occur when nss_ldap is set to configure itself using information
stored in DNS as well as a format string bug in logging functions used
in pam_ldap.

[Updated 09 Jan 2003] Added fixed packages for the Itanium (IA64)
architecture.

[Updated 06 Feb 2003] Added fixed packages for Advanced Workstation
2.1

nss_ldap is a set of C library extensions that allow X.500 and LDAP
directory servers to be used as a primary source of aliases, ethers,
groups, hosts, networks, protocols, users, RPCs, services, and shadow
passwords (instead of or in addition to using flat files or NIS).

When versions of nss_ldap prior to nss_ldap-198 are configured without
a value for the 'host' setting, nss_ldap will attempt to configure
itself by using SRV records stored in DNS. When parsing the results of
the DNS query, nss_ldap does not check that data returned by the
server will fit into an internal buffer, leaving it vulnerable to a
buffer overflow The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project has
assigned the name CVE-2002-0825 to this issue.

When versions of nss_ldap prior to nss_ldap-199 are configured without
a value for the 'host' setting, nss_ldap will attempt to configure
itself by using SRV records stored in DNS. When parsing the results of
the DNS query, nss_ldap does not check that the data returned has not
been truncated by the resolver libraries to avoid a buffer overflow,
and may attempt to parse more data than is actually available, leaving
it vulnerable to a read buffer overflow.

Versions of pam_ldap prior to version 144 include a format string bug
in the logging function. The packages included in this erratum update
pam_ldap to version 144, fixing this bug. The Common Vulnerabilities
and Exposures project has assigned the name CVE-2002-0374 to this
issue.

All users of nss_ldap should update to these errata packages which are
not vulnerable to the above issues. These packages are based on
nss_ldap-189 with the addition of a backported security patch and
pam_ldap version 144.

Thanks to the nss_ldap and pam_ldap team at padl.com for providing
information about these issues."
