medium Nessus Plugin ID 31406

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing one or more security-related patches.

Description

Jonathan Clarke discovered that the OpenLDAP slapd server did not properly handle modify requests when using the Berkeley DB backend and specifying the NOOP control. An authenticated user with modify permissions could send a crafted modify request and cause a denial of service via application crash. Ubuntu 7.10 is not affected by this issue. (CVE-2007-6698)

Ralf Haferkamp discovered that the OpenLDAP slapd server did not properly handle modrdn requests when using the Berkeley DB backend and specifying the NOOP control. An authenticated user with modrdn permissions could send a crafted modrdn request and possibly cause a denial of service via application crash. (CVE-2007-6698).

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
