RHBA-2013:0008 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

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

Description

The mozldap packages provide the Mozilla LDAP C SDK libraries that allow
applications to communicate with Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)
directory servers. These libraries are derived from the University of Michigan
and Netscape LDAP libraries and use Mozilla NSPR and NSS for crypto.

This update fixes the following bug:

• Prior to this update, the ldapsearch tool could, under certain circumstances,

access or free uninitialized memory when following a smart referral entry using
anonymous credentials. As a consequence, the ldapsearch tool could encounter a
segmentation fault. This update ensures that the memory is initialized. Now,
ldapsearch works with anonymous credentials as expected. (BZ#753014)

All users of mozldap 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
