Description D'juan McDonald (domhnall) 2017-12-18 14:44:44 UTC
CVE-2017-17740(https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2017-17740):

contrib/slapd-modules/nops/nops.c in OpenLDAP through 2.4.45, when both the nops module and the memberof overlay are enabled, attempts to free a buffer that was allocated on the stack, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (slapd crash) via a member MODDN operation.


@maintainer(s): In case of bump, please call for stabilization when ready, thank you.

Comment 1 Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev 2019-11-10 16:08:46 UTC
we have newer versions in stable already
Comment 2 Thomas Deutschmann (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2020-03-16 22:48:29 UTC
The vulnerability is still present.

@ maintainer(s): Please rev bump and don't build contrib module "nops" from "nops-overlay".

    net-nds/openldap-2.4.49-r2: revbump, fix pkg_postinst, sec bug #641576
    
    pkg_postinst currently die()-s if /var/run/openldap doesn't exist, this
    breaks many cases (chroot build, first install etc).
    
    Also disable build of nops module for security bug #641576

    net-nds/openldap: bump for security CVE-2020-12243
    
    Also update mirrors to use HTTPS/HTTPS, because upstream's official
    download URL is a FTP site which seems to be broken.
