+ Cameron Hotchkies discovered an error within the parsing of ASN.1 BER
+ encoded packets in the "ber_get_next()" function in

+ </description>
+ <impact type="low">
+ <p>
+ A remote unauthenticated attacker can send a specially crafted ASN.1
+ BER encoded packet which will trigger the error and cause an
+ "assert()", terminating the "slapd" daemon.

+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>

+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=net-nds/openldap-2.3.43"</code>
