S-182: Vulnerability in Active Directory

A denial of service vulnerability exists in implementations of Active Directory on Microsoft Windows 2000 and Windows Server 2003. The risk is LOW. The vulnerability also exists in implementations of Active Directory Application Mode (ADAM) when installed on Windows XP and Windows Server 2003. The vulnerability is due to improper validation of specially crafted LDAP requests. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could cause the computer to stop responding and automatically restart.

DateTime::Format::Epoch::ActiveDirectory(3pm)		User Contributed Perl Documentation	     DateTime::Format::Epoch::ActiveDirectory(3pm)

NAME
DateTime::Format::Epoch::ActiveDirectory - Active Directory epoch seconds SYNOPSIS
use DateTime::Format::Epoch::ActiveDirectory; my $dt = DateTime::Format::Epoch::ActiveDirectory ->parse_datetime( 1051488000 ); DateTime::Format::Epoch::ActiveDirectory->format_datetime($dt); # 1051488000 my $formatter = DateTime::Format::Epoch::ActiveDirectory->new(); my $dt2 = $formatter->parse_datetime( 1051488000 ); $formatter->format_datetime($dt2); DESCRIPTION
This module can convert a DateTime object (or any object that can be converted to a DateTime object) to the number of seconds since the epoch used in Microsoft Active Directory. Note that this epoch is defined in the local time zone. This means that these two pieces of code will print the same number of seconds, even though they represent two datetimes 6 hours apart: $dt = DateTime->new( year => 2003, month => 5, day => 2, time_zone => 'Europe/Amsterdam' ); print $formatter->format_datetime($dt); $dt = DateTime->new( year => 2003, month => 5, day => 2, time_zone => 'America/Chicago' ); print $formatter->format_datetime($dt); METHODS
Most of the methods are the same as those in DateTime::Format::Epoch. The only difference is the constructor. o new() Constructor of the formatter/parser object. It has no parameters. SUPPORT
Support for this module is provided via the datetime@perl.org email list. See http://lists.perl.org/ for more details. AUTHOR
