Summary
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------Debian Security Advisory DSA 1203-1 security@debian.org http://www.debian.org/security/ Moritz Muehlenhoff November 2nd, 2006 http://www.debian.org/security/faq - --------------------------------------------------------------------------Package : libpam-ldap Vulnerability : programming error Problem-Type : remote Debian-specific: no CVE ID : CVE-2006-5170 Debian Bug : 392984 Steve Rigler discovered that the PAM module for authentication against LDAP servers processes PasswordPolicyReponse control messages incorrectly, which might lead to an attacker being able to login into a suspended system account. For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version 178-1sarge3. Due to technical problems with the security buildd infrastructure this update lacks a build for the Sun Sparc architecture. It will be released as soon as the problems are resolved. For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in version 180-1.2. We recommend that you upgrade your libpam-ldap package.
