openldap: weaker than expected encryption

Package(s):openldap CVE #(s):CVE-2012-2668
Created:July 17, 2012 Updated:August 9, 2012
Description: From the CVE entry:

libraries/libldap/tls_m.c in OpenLDAP, possibly 2.4.31 and earlier, when using the Mozilla NSS backend, always uses the default cipher suite even when TLSCipherSuite is set, which might cause OpenLDAP to use weaker ciphers than intended and make it easier for remote attackers to obtain sensitive information.
