RHBA-2011:0529 - perl-Mozilla-LDAP bug fix update

Synopsis

perl-Mozilla-LDAP bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory (none)

Topic

An updated perl-Mozilla-LDAP package that fixes several bugs and ensures that perl-Mozilla-LDAP always uses the OpenLDAP C SDK, is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

perl-Mozilla-LDAP is an LDAP Perl module that wraps the OpenLDAP client libraries.

This update fixes the following bugs:

  • The perl-Mozilla-LDAP package has been upgraded to upstream version 1.5.3, which provides a number of bug fixes over the previous version. (BZ#644093)

  • Previously, the Mozilla Perl LDAP SDK was a wrapper around the Mozilla C LDAP SDK (mozldap). Now that mozldap has been dropped from RHEL 6, in order to support legacy applications that still use the Mozilla Perl LDAP SDK, it has been ported to use OpenLDAP instead of mozldap. Applications that use the Mozilla Perl LDAP SDK should not notice any difference between the versions that use mozldap and the new one that uses OpenLDAP. (BZ#610902)

Users are advised to upgrade to this updated perl-Mozilla-LDAP package, which fixes these bugs.
