+ A race condition might lead to theft of user credentials or information
+ disclosure in services using nss_ldap.

+ <background>
+ <p>
+ nss_ldap is a Name Service Switch module which allows 'passwd', 'group'
+ and 'host' database information to be pulled from LDAP.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Josh Burley reported that nss_ldap does not properly handle the LDAP
+ connections due to a race condition that can be triggered by
+ multi-threaded applications using nss_ldap, which might lead to
+ requested data being returned to a wrong process.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="low">
+ <p>
+ Remote attackers could exploit this race condition by sending queries
+ to a vulnerable server using nss_ldap, possibly leading to theft of
+ user credentials or information disclosure (e.g. Dovecot returning
+ wrong mailbox contents).
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All nss_ldap users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=sys-auth/nss_ldap-258"</code>
