+ <title>pam_ldap and nss_ldap: Plain text authentication leak</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ pam_ldap and nss_ldap fail to restart TLS when following a referral,

+ <p>
+ pam_ldap is a Pluggable Authentication Module which allows
+ authentication against an LDAP directory. nss_ldap is a Name Service
+ Switch module which allows 'passwd', 'group' and 'host' database
+ information to be pulled from LDAP. TLS is Transport Layer Security, a
+ protocol that allows encryption of network communications.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Rob Holland of the Gentoo Security Audit Team discovered that
+ pam_ldap and nss_ldap fail to use TLS for referred connections if they
+ are referred to a master after connecting to a slave, regardless of the
+ "ssl start_tls" ldap.conf setting.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ An attacker could sniff passwords or other sensitive information
+ as the communication is not encrypted.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ pam_ldap and nss_ldap can be set to force the use of SSL instead
+ of TLS.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All pam_ldap users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=sys-auth/pam_ldap-178-r1"</code>
+ <p>
+ All nss_ldap users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose sys-auth/nss_ldap</code>
