RHBA-2013:0008 - mozldap bug fix update

Synopsis

mozldap bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory (none)

Topic

Updated mozldap packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

Description

The mozldap packages provide the Mozilla LDAP C SDK libraries that allow applications to communicate with Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) directory servers. These libraries are derived from the University of Michigan and Netscape LDAP libraries and use Mozilla NSPR and NSS for crypto.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • Prior to this update, the ldapsearch tool could, under certain circumstances, access or free uninitialized memory when following a smart referral entry using anonymous credentials. As a consequence, the ldapsearch tool could encounter a segmentation fault. This update ensures that the memory is initialized. Now, ldapsearch works with anonymous credentials as expected. (BZ#753014)

All users of mozldap are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/articles/11258
