TITLE:
Sun Solaris 8 LDAP Client Configuration Cache Daemon Denial of
Service

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA37506

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/37506/

DESCRIPTION:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in Sun Solaris, which can be
exploited by malicious, local users to cause a DoS (Denial of
Service).

The vulnerabilities are caused due to errors in the ldap_cachemgr
daemon and can be exploited to crash the daemon, thus slowing the
LDAP name service requests as caching will not occur.

The vulnerabilities are reported in Solaris 8 for both the SPARC and
x86 platforms.

SOLUTION:
A final resolution is pending completion.

Restrict LDAP access to trusted users.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Reported by the vendor.
