Moderate: openldap security updateOpenLDAP is an open source suite of Lightweight Directory Access Protocol(LDAP) applications and development tools. LDAP is a set of protocols foraccessing directory services.These updated openldap packages fix a flaw in the way the OpenLDAP slapddaemon handled modify and modrdn requests with NOOP control on objectsstored in a Berkeley DB (BDB) storage backend. An authenticated attackerwith permission to perform modify or modrdn operations on such LDAP objectscould cause slapd to crash. (CVE-2007-6698, CVE-2008-0658)Users of openldap should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain abackported patch to correct this issue.
