Detail
Problem Description: Updated openldap and nss_ldap packages that correct a potential password disclosure issue are now available. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (Advanced Server) version 2.1 - i386, ia64 Red Hat Linux Advanced Workstation 2.1 - ia64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 2.1 - i386 Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 2.1 - i386 Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 3 - i386, ia64, ppc, s390, s390x, x86_64 Red Hat Desktop version 3 - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 3 - i386, ia64, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 3 - i386, ia64, x86_64 3. Problem description: OpenLDAP is an open source suite of LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) applications and development tools. The nss_ldap module is an extension for use with GNU libc which allows applications to, without internal modification, consult a directory service using LDAP to supplement information that would be read from local files such as /etc/passwd, /etc/group, and /etc/shadow. A bug was found in the way OpenLDAP, nss_ldap, and pam_ldap refer LDAP servers. If a client connection is referred to a different server, it is possible that the referred connection will not be encrypted even if the client has "ssl start_tls" in its ldap.conf file. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project has assigned the name CAN-2005-2069 to this issue. A bug was also found in the way certain OpenLDAP authentication schemes store hashed passwords. A remote attacker could re-use a hashed password to gain access to unauthorized resources. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project has assigned the name CAN-2004-0823 to this issue. All users of OpenLDAP and nss_ldap are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported fixes that resolve these issues. 4. Solution: Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied. This update is available via Red Hat Network. To use Red Hat Network, launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command: up2date This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate RPMs being upgraded on your system. 5. Bug IDs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/): 156386 - CAN-2004-0823 openldap hashed password re-use 162482 - CAN-2005-2069 openldap password disclosure issue |

Title: | OpenLDAP 1.0 through 2.1.19, as used in Apple Mac OS 10.3.4 and 10.3.5 and possibly other operating systems, may allow certain authentication schemes to use hashed (crypt) passwords in the userPassword attribute as if they were plaintext passwords, which allows remote attackers to re-use hashed passwords without decrypting them. | ||
