Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDKSA-2006:201
http://www.mandriva.com/security/
_______________________________________________________________________

Package : pam_ldap
Date : November 7, 2006
Affected: 2006.0, 2007.0, Corporate 4.0
_______________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

Pam_ldap does not return an error condition when an LDAP directory
server responds with a PasswordPolicyResponse control response, which
causes the pam_authenticate function to return a success code even if
authentication has failed, as originally reported for xscreensaver.
This might lead to an attacker being able to login into a suspended
system account.

Updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.
