Package:             openldap
Vulnerability:       stack-based buffer overflow
OpenPKG Specific:    no

Affected Releases:   Affected Packages:          Corrected Packages:
OpenPKG CURRENT      <= openldap-2.3.21-20060510 >= openldap-2.3.22-20060517

Description:
  According to a Secunia security advisory [0], a weakness exists in
  OpenLDAP [1] which is caused due to a boundary error in slurpd(8)
  within the handling of the status file. This can be exploited to cause
  a stack-based buffer overflow via an overly long hostname read from
  the status file. The weakness has been reported to be in OpenLDAP
  version 2.3.21 and earlier.
