medium Nessus Plugin ID 40084

Synopsis

The remote openSUSE host is missing a security update.

Description

This update fixes a security problem in the liblber client library of openldap that allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (program termination) via crafted ASN.1 BER datagrams, which triggers an assertion error. (CVE-2008-2952) Additionally a bug was fixed in ldap_free_connection which could result in client crashes when the server closed a connection while an operation is active.

Solution

Update the affected openldap2 packages.
