Debian Security Advisory DSA-1758-1 security@debian.org

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
