SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA16518

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/16518/

CRITICAL:
Less critical

IMPACT:
Security Bypass

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
pam_ldap 1.x
http://secunia.com/product/2131/

DESCRIPTION:
A security issue has been reported in pam_ldap, which can be
exploited by malicious people to bypass certain security
restrictions.

The problem is caused due to an error when a pam_ldap client
authenticates against an LDAP server that returns a
passwordPolicyResponse control in a BindResponse without the optional
"error" field.

Successful exploitation grants access without checking the
authentication result.

The security issue has been reported in versions 169 through 179.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 180.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Reported by vendor.
