+  <title>OpenLDAP DoS Vulnerability</title>
+  <synopsis>
+    A failed password operation can cause the OpenLDAP slapd server, if it is
+    using the back-ldbm backend, to free memory that was never allocated.

+  <affected>
+    <package name="net-nds/openldap" auto="yes" arch="*">
+      <unaffected range="ge">2.1.13</unaffected>
+      <vulnerable range="le">2.1.12</vulnerable>
+    </package>
+  </affected>
+  <background>
+    <p>
+    OpenLDAP is a suite of LDAP-related application and development tools.
+    It includes slapd (the standalone LDAP server), slurpd (the standalone
+    LDAP replication server), and various LDAP libraries, utilities and
+    example clients.
+    </p>
+  </background>
+  <description>
+    <p>
+    A password extended operation (password EXOP) which fails will cause
+    the slapd server to free() an uninitialized pointer, possibly resulting
+    in a segfault. This only affects servers using the back-ldbm backend.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+    Such a crash is not guaranteed with every failed operation, however, it
+    is possible.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="normal">
+    <p>
+    An attacker (or indeed, a normal user) may crash the OpenLDAP server,
+    creating a Denial of Service condition.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    A workaround is not currently known for this issue. All users are
+    advised to upgrade to the latest version of the affected package.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    OpenLDAP users should upgrade to version 2.1.13 or later:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge sync
+    
+    # emerge -pv &quot;&gt;=net-nds/openldap-2.1.13&quot;
+    # emerge &quot;&gt;=net-nds/openldap-2.1.13&quot;</code>
