Amazon Linux AMI : openldap (ALAS-2012-101)

low Nessus Plugin ID 69591

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Amazon Linux AMI host is missing a security update.

Description

A denial of service flaw was found in the way the OpenLDAP server daemon (slapd) processed certain search queries requesting only attributes and no values. In certain configurations, a remote attacker could issue a specially crafted LDAP search query that, when processed by slapd, would cause slapd to crash due to an assertion failure.
(CVE-2012-1164)

Solution

Run 'yum update openldap' to update your system.
