+ A flaw in OpenLDAP allows remote unauthenticated attackers to cause a
+ Denial of Service.

+ <p>
+ OpenLDAP is a suite of LDAP-related applications and development tools.

+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Evgeny Legerov has discovered that the truncation of an incoming
+ authcid longer than 255 characters and ending with a space as the 255th
+ character will lead to an improperly computed name length. This will
+ trigger an assert in the libldap code.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ By sending a BIND request with a specially crafted authcid parameter to
+ an OpenLDAP service, a remote attacker can cause the service to crash.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All OpenLDAP users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "net-nds/openldap"</code>
