Subject: Linux: pam_ldap format string vulnerability
Advisory number: CSSA-2002-041.0
Issue date: 2002 October 28

1. Problem Description
The pam_ldap module provides authentication for user access
to a system by consulting a directory using LDAP. Versions of
pam_ldap prior to version 144 include a format string bug in
the logging function.
2. Vulnerable Supported Versions
System Package
----------------------------------------------------------------------
OpenLinux 3.1.1 Server prior to pam_ldap-144-1.i386.rpm
OpenLinux 3.1.1 Workstation prior to pam_ldap-144-1.i386.rpm
OpenLinux 3.1 Server prior to pam_ldap-144-1.i386.rpm
OpenLinux 3.1 Workstation prior to pam_ldap-144-1.i386.rpm
3. Solution
The proper solution is to install the latest packages. Many
customers find it easier to use the Caldera System Updater, called
cupdate (or kcupdate under the KDE environment), to update these
packages rather than downloading and installing them by hand.
