Package name pam_ldap
Date November 7th, 2006
Advisory ID MDKSA-2006:201
Affected versions 2006.0, 2007.0, CS4.0

Problem Description

Pam_ldap does not return an error condition when an LDAP directory
server responds with a PasswordPolicyResponse control response, which
causes the pam_authenticate function to return a success code even if
authentication has failed, as originally reported for xscreensaver.
This might lead to an attacker being able to login into a suspended
system account.

Updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.
