Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.50742
Category:Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2003:088 (pam_ldap)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to pam_ldap
announced via advisory MDKSA-2003:088.

A bug was fixed in pam_ldap 162 with the pam_filter mechanism which is
commonly used for host-based access restriction in environments using
LDAP for authentication. Mandrake Linux 9.1 provided pam_ldap 161
which had this problem and as a result, systems relying on pam_filter
for host-based access restriction would allow any user, regardless of
the host attribute associated with their account, to log into the
system. All users who use LDAP-based authentication are encouraged to
upgrade immediately.

Affected versions: 9.1

Solution:
To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification
of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you.
