1. Topic:
New openldap packages are available which fix a security
vulnerability in Red Hat Linux 6.1 and 6.2.
2. Relevant releases/architectures:
Red Hat Linux 6.1 - i386 alpha sparc
Red Hat Linux 6.2 - i386 alpha sparc
3. Problem description:
OpenLDAP follows symbolic links when creating files. The default location for
these files is /usr/tmp, which is a symlink to /tmp, which in turn is a
world-writable directory. Local users can destroy the contents of any file on any
mounted filesystem.
4. Solution:
For each RPM for your particular architecture, run:
rpm -Fvh [filename]
where filename is the name of the RPM.
Administrators with existing databases should also move their NEXTID and *.dbb
files from /usr/tmp to /var/lib/ldap, and verify that the 'directory' setting in
/etc/openldap/slapd.conf is changed accordingly.
5. Bug IDs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla for more info):
10714 - Insecure file creation using static files which follow symlinks.
