Topic

Updated perl-LDAP packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5.

Description

The perl-LDAP package provide a collection of modules that implements a LDAP
services API for Perl programs. The module may be used to search directories or
perform maintenance functions such as adding, deleting, or modifying entries.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • Previously, errors in LDAP communication occurred when the sent data was too

large. Consequently, user could not send data bigger than 15,000 bytes over SSL.
With this update, backported upstream patches have been provided, which modify
the syswrite() call to use smaller chunks of data passed to the IO::Socket::SSL
module, thus fixing this bug. (BZ#858699)

All users of perl-LDAP are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
fix this bug.

Solution

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

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red
Hat Network to apply this update are available at
