Synopsis:          Important: nss-pam-ldapd security update
Issue Date:        2013-03-04
CVE Numbers:       CVE-2013-0288
--

An array index error, leading to a stack-based buffer overflow flaw, was
found in the way nss-pam-ldapd managed open file descriptors. An attacker
able to make a process have a large number of open file descriptors and
perform name lookups could use this flaw to cause the process to crash or,
potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user
running the process. (CVE-2013-0288)
