<p>
The following errors have been discovered in OpenLDAP:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
Tony Blake discovered an error which exists within the normalisation of
"objectClasses" (CVE-2007-5707).</li>
<li>
Thomas Sesselmann reported that, when running as a proxy-caching server
the "add_filter_attrs()" function in servers/slapd/overlay/pcache.c
does not correctly NULL terminate "new_attrs" (CVE-2007-5708).</li>
<li>
A double-free bug exists in attrs_free() in the file
servers/slapd/back-bdb/modrdn.c, which was discovered by Jonathan
Clarke (CVE-2008-0658).</li>
</ul>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>
A remote attacker can cause a Denial of Serivce by sending a malformed
"objectClasses" attribute, and via unknown vectors that prevent the
"new_attrs" array from being NULL terminated, and via a modrdn
operation with a NOOP (LDAP_X_NO_OPERATION) control.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
There is no known workaround at this time.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All OpenLDAP users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=net-nds/openldap-2.3.41&quot;</code>
</resolution>
