RHBA-2011:0866 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

An updated redhat-ds-base package that fixes a number of bugs is now available
for Red Hat Directory Server 8.

Description

Red Hat Directory Server is an LDAPv3-compliant directory server. The
redhat-ds-base package includes the LDAP server and command line utilities for
server administration.

This update fixes the following bugs:

• If the client specified the "sizelimit" or "timelimit" option with the search

request, the specified limit was not honored by the Directory Manager. This
problem has been fixed so that the limit is now honored. (BZ#606920)

• When the proxy authentication was used, the proxy user was unable to change

the "userPassword" attribute of another user, although the proxy user had
sufficient rights to do so. This update has fixed the problem so that the proxy
user is now able to change the attribute. (BZ#520151)

• Previously, disabling the use of SSLv3 with the FIPS Mode on was not supported

so that Red Hat Directory Server had no way to explicitly disallow the use of
SSLv3 and only use TLSv1 after the FIPS mode was enabled. This update adds the
necessary support for disabling SSLv3 with the FIPS Mode on and thus fixes the
problem. (BZ#707015)

Users are advised to upgrade to this updated redhat-ds-base package, which fixes
these bugs.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.

To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run:

rpm -Fvh [filenames]

where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade. Only those
RPMs which are currently installed will be updated. Those RPMs which are
not installed but included in the list will not be updated. Note that you
can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directory *only* contains the
desired RPMs.

Please note that this update is also available via Red Hat Network. Many
people find this an easier way to apply updates. To use Red Hat Network,
launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:

up2date

This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate
RPMs being upgraded on your system.
