-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2010-13556 2010-08-26 00:26:45 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : nss_ldap Product : Fedora 12 Version : 264 Release : 9.fc12 URL : http://www.padl.com/ Summary : NSS library and PAM module for LDAP Description : This package includes two LDAP access clients: nss_ldap and pam_ldap. Nss_ldap is a set of C library extensions that allow X.500 and LDAP directory servers to be used as a primary source of aliases, ethers, groups, hosts, networks, protocol, users, RPCs, services, and shadow passwords (instead of or in addition to using flat files or NIS). Pam_ldap is a module for Linux-PAM that supports password changes, V2 clients, Netscape's SSL, ypldapd, Netscape Directory Server password policies, access authorization, and crypted hashes. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: This update backports a change to prevent nss_ldap from overly recursing into itself and attempting to contact the directory server while attempting to resolve network addresses which are needed for contacting the directory server, and adds an experimental "nss_initgroups_minimum_uid" option to make it easier to avoid enumeration of supplemental groups for system users. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Fri Aug 20 2010 Nalin Dahyabhai <[email protected]> 264-9 - add proposed patch for avoiding recursion-until-death while resolving hosts - take another stab at implementing a working nss_initgroups_minimum_uid setting, and default it to 500 - add proposed patch for upstream #421: sometimes errno gets reset before we return control to libc -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program. Use su -c 'yum update nss_ldap' at the command line. For more information, refer to "Managing Software with yum", available at http://docs.fedoraproject.org/yum/.
