Synopsis ========

A race condition might lead to theft of user credentials or information disclosure in services using nss_ldap.

Background ==========

nss_ldap is a Name Service Switch module which allows 'passwd', 'group' and 'host' database information to be pulled from LDAP.

Affected packages =================

Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected

1 sys-auth/nss_ldap < 258 >= 258

Description ===========

Josh Burley reported that nss_ldap does not properly handle the LDAP connections due to a race condition that can be triggered by multi-threaded applications using nss_ldap, which might lead to requested data being returned to a wrong process.

Impact ======

Remote attackers could exploit this race condition by sending queries to a vulnerable server using nss_ldap, possibly leading to theft of user credentials or information disclosure (e.g. Dovecot returning wrong mailbox contents).

Workaround ==========

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution ==========

All nss_ldap users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=sys-auth/nss_ldap-258"

References ==========

[ 1 ] CVE-2007-5794 ​http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-5794

Availability ============

It'd be awesome if we could set the status and owner of a ticket in the reply email. Geoff is working on this, and has some scrips that do part of the job.

We have an installer for Gallery 2.0. Gallery 2.1 and 2.2 now exist.

The ​2.1 release notes and ​2.2 release notes describe a number of user-desirable new features, plus security fixes.

Let's upgrade -- first roll out a new installer so new users are happy, then look at upgrading existing instances.
