Subject:		Linux: pam_ldap format string vulnerability
Advisory number: 	CSSA-2002-041.0
Issue date: 		2002 October 28
Cross reference:
______________________________________________________________________________


1. Problem Description

	The pam_ldap module provides authentication for user access
	to a system by consulting a directory using LDAP. Versions of
	pam_ldap prior to version 144 include a format string bug in
	the logging function.


2. Vulnerable Supported Versions

	System				Package
	----------------------------------------------------------------------

	OpenLinux 3.1.1 Server		prior to pam_ldap-144-1.i386.rpm

	OpenLinux 3.1.1 Workstation	prior to pam_ldap-144-1.i386.rpm

	OpenLinux 3.1 Server		prior to pam_ldap-144-1.i386.rpm

	OpenLinux 3.1 Workstation	prior to pam_ldap-144-1.i386.rpm


3. Solution

	The proper solution is to install the latest packages. Many
	customers find it easier to use the Caldera System Updater, called
	cupdate (or kcupdate under the KDE environment), to update these
	packages rather than downloading and installing them by hand.
