TITLE:
Debian update for nss-ldapd
SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA34523
VERIFY ADVISORY:
https://secunia.com/advisories/34523/
DESCRIPTION:
Debian has issued an update for nss-ldapd. This fixes a security
issue, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to disclose
potentially sensitive information.
The security issue is caused due to the "/etc/nss-ldapd.conf" file
being created with insecure permissions, which can be exploited to
e.g. disclose the LDAP password.
SOLUTION:
Apply updated packages.
