Synopsis:	Moderate: openldap security update
Issue date:	2010-07-20
CVE Names:	CVE-2009-3767 CVE-2010-0211

An uninitialized pointer use flaw was discovered in the way the slapd
daemon handled modify relative distinguished name (modrdn) requests. An
authenticated user with privileges to perform modrdn operations could
use this flaw to crash the slapd daemon via specially-crafted modrdn
requests. (CVE-2010-0211)

A flaw was found in the way OpenLDAP handled NUL characters in the
CommonName field of X.509 certificates. An attacker able to get a
carefully-crafted certificate signed by a trusted Certificate Authority
could trick applications using OpenLDAP libraries into accepting it by
mistake, allowing the attacker to perform a man-in-the-middle attack.
(CVE-2009-3767)

After installing this update, the OpenLDAP daemons will be restarted
automatically.
