+ nss_ldap is a Name Service Switch module which allows 'passwd', 'group' + and 'host' database information to be pulled from LDAP. +

+
+ +

+ 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. +

+
+ +

+ 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). +

+
+ +

+ There is no known workaround at this time. +

+
+ +

+ All nss_ldap users should upgrade to the latest version: +

+ + # emerge --sync + # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=sys-auth/nss_ldap-258" +
