DSA-068-1 openldap Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The CERT advisory lists a number of vulnerabilities in various LDAP implementations, based on the results of the PROTOS LDAPv3 test suite. These tests found one problem in OpenLDAP, a free LDAP implementation which is shipped as part of Debian GNU/Linux 2.2. The problem is that slapd did not handle packets which had BER fields of invalid length and would crash if it received them. A possible hacker could use this to mount a remote denial of service attack. This problem has been fixed in version 1.2.12-1, and we recommend that you upgrade your slapd package immediately.
