<background>
<p>
pam_ldap is a Pluggable Authentication Module which allows
authentication against LDAP directories.
</p>
</background>
<description>
<p>
Steve Rigler discovered that pam_ldap does not correctly handle
"PasswordPolicyResponse" control responses from an LDAP directory. This
causes the pam_authenticate() function to always succeed, even if the
previous authentication failed.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="low">
<p>
A locked user may exploit this vulnerability to bypass the LDAP
authentication mechanism, possibly gaining unauthorized access to the
system.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
There is no known workaround at this time.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All pam_ldap users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=sys-auth/pam_ldap-183"</code>
</resolution>
