-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Debian Security Advisory DSA-1758-1 security@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.debian.org/security/ Moritz Muehlenhoff March 30, 2009 http://www.debian.org/security/faq - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Package : nss-ldapd Vulnerability : insecure config file creation Problem-Type : local Debian-specific: yes CVE ID : CVE-2009-1073 Debian Bug : 520476 Leigh James that discovered that nss-ldapd, an NSS module for using LDAP as a naming service, by default creates the configuration file /etc/nss-ldapd.conf world-readable which could leak the configured LDAP password if one is used for connecting to the LDAP server. The old stable distribution (etch) doesn't contain nss-ldapd. For the stable distribution (lenny) this problem has been fixed in version 0.6.7.1. For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in version 0.6.8. We recommend that you upgrade your nss-ldapd package. Upgrade instructions - -------------------- wget url will fetch the file for you dpkg -i file.deb will install the referenced file. If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for sources.list as given below: apt-get update will update the internal database apt-get upgrade will install corrected packages You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the footer to the proper configuration. Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 alias lenny - -------------------------------- Stable updates are available for alpha, amd64, arm, armel, hppa, i386, ia64, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390 and sparc.
