Debian DLA-3017-1 : openldap - LTS security update

critical Nessus Plugin ID 161428

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

The remote Debian 9 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the dla-3017 advisory.

 - In OpenLDAP 2.x before 2.5.12 and 2.6.x before 2.6.2, a SQL injection vulnerability exists in the experimental back-sql backend to slapd, via a SQL statement within an LDAP query. This can occur during an LDAP search operation when the search filter is processed, due to a lack of proper escaping.
 (CVE-2022-29155)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade the openldap packages.

For Debian 9 stretch, this problem has been fixed in version 2.4.44+dfsg-5+deb9u9.
