Synopsis
========
The OpenLDAP replication server slurpd contains a buffer overflow that
could result in arbitrary code execution.
Background
==========
OpenLDAP is a suite of LDAP-related applications and development tools.
It includes slapd (the standalone LDAP server), slurpd (the standalone
LDAP replication server), various LDAP libraries, utilities and example
clients.
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 net-nsd/openldap < 2.3.22 >= 2.3.22
Description
===========
slurpd contains a buffer overflow when reading very long hostnames from
the status file.
Impact
======
By injecting an overly long hostname in the status file, an attacker
could possibly cause the execution of arbitrary code with the
permissions of the user running slurpd.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
==========
All openLDAP users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-nds/openldap-2.3.22"
References
==========
