<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 &quot;&gt;=sys-auth/nss_ldap-258&quot;</code>
</resolution>
