Description:
=========================================================== Ubuntu Security Notice USN-634-1 August 01, 2008 openldap2.2, openldap2.3 vulnerability CVE-2008-2952 =========================================================== A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases: Ubuntu 6.06 LTS Ubuntu 7.04 Ubuntu 7.10 Ubuntu 8.04 LTS This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu. The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 6.06 LTS: slapd 2.2.26-5ubuntu2.8 Ubuntu 7.04: slapd 2.3.30-2ubuntu0.3 Ubuntu 7.10: slapd 2.3.35-1ubuntu0.3 Ubuntu 8.04 LTS: slapd 2.4.9-0ubuntu0.8.04.1 In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the necessary changes. Details follow: Cameron Hotchkies discovered that OpenLDAP did not correctly handle certain ASN.1 BER data. A remote attacker could send a specially crafted packet and crash slapd, leading to a denial of service.

NAME
ldappasswd - change the password of an LDAP entry SYNOPSIS
ldappasswd [-A] [-a oldPasswd] [-D binddn] [-d debuglevel] [-H ldapuri] [-h ldaphost] [-n] [-p ldapport] [-S] [-s newPasswd] [-v] [-W] [-w passwd] [-O security-properties] [-I] [-Q] [-U authcid] [-x] [-X authzid] [-Y mech] [-Z[Z]] [user] DESCRIPTION
ldappasswd is a tool to set the password of an LDAP user. ldappasswd uses the LDAPv3 Password Modify (RFC 3062) extended operation. ldappasswd sets the password of associated with the user [or an optionally specified user]. If the new password is not specified on the command line and the user doesn't enable prompting, the server will be asked to generate a password for the user. ldappasswd is neither designed nor intended to be a replacement for passwd(1) and should not be installed as such. OPTIONS
-A Prompt for old password. This is used instead of specifying the password on the command line. -a oldPasswd Set the old password to oldPasswd. -x Use simple authentication instead of SASL. -D binddn Use the Distinguished Name binddn to bind to the LDAP directory. -d debuglevel Set the LDAP debugging level to debuglevel. ldappasswd must be compiled with LDAP_DEBUG defined for this option to have any effect. -H ldapuri Specify URI(s) referring to the ldap server(s). -h ldaphost Specify an alternate host on which the ldap server is running. Deprecated in favor of -H. -p ldapport Specify an alternate TCP port where the ldap server is listening. Deprecated in favor of -H. -n Do not set password. (Can be useful when used in conjunction with -v or -d) -S Prompt for new password. This is used instead of specifying the password on the command line. -s newPasswd Set the new password to newPasswd. -v Increase the verbosity of output. Can be specified multiple times. -W Prompt for bind password. This is used instead of specifying the password on the command line. -w passwd Use passwd as the password to bind with. -O security-properties Specify SASL security properties. -I Enable SASL Interactive mode. Always prompt. Default is to prompt only as needed. -Q Enable SASL Quiet mode. Never prompt. -U authcid Specify the authentication ID for SASL bind. The form of the ID depends on the actual SASL mechanism used. -X authzid Specify the requested authorization ID for SASL bind. authzid must be one of the following formats: dn:<distinguishedname> or u:<username>. -Y mech Specify the SASL mechanism to be used for authentication. If it's not specified, the program will choose the best mechanism the server knows. -Z[Z] Issue StartTLS (Transport Layer Security) extended operation. If you use -ZZ, the command will require the operation to be success- ful SEE ALSO
