Title: OpenLDAP: Denial of Service vulnerabilities
Date: March 19, 2008
Bugs: #197446, #209677
ID: 200803-28

Synopsis
========
Multiple Denial of Service vulnerabilities have been reported in
OpenLDAP.
Background
==========
OpenLDAP Software is an open source implementation of the Lightweight
Directory Access Protocol.
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 net-nds/openldap lt; 2.3.41 gt;= 2.3.41
Description
===========
The following errors have been discovered in OpenLDAP:
* Tony Blake discovered an error which exists within the
normalisation of "objectClasses" (CVE-2007-5707).
* Thomas Sesselmann reported that, when running as a proxy-caching
server the "add_filter_attrs()" function in
servers/slapd/overlay/pcache.c does not correctly NULL terminate
"new_attrs" (CVE-2007-5708).
* A double-free bug exists in attrs_free() in the file
servers/slapd/back-bdb/modrdn.c, which was discovered by Jonathan
Clarke (CVE-2008-0658).
Impact
======
A remote attacker can cause a Denial of Serivce by sending a malformed
"objectClasses" attribute, and via unknown vectors that prevent the
"new_attrs" array from being NULL terminated, and via a modrdn
operation with a NOOP (LDAP_X_NO_OPERATION) control.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
==========
All OpenLDAP users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "gt;=net-nds/openldap-2.3.41"
