Debian DSA-5140-1 : openldap - security update

critical Nessus Plugin ID 161404

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

The remote Debian 10 / 11 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the dsa-5140 advisory.

- In OpenLDAP 2.x before 2.5.12 and 2.6.x before 2.6.2, a SQL injection vulnerability exists in the experimental back-sql backend to slapd, via a SQL statement within an LDAP query. This can occur during an LDAP search operation when the search filter is processed, due to a lack of proper escaping.
(CVE-2022-29155)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade the openldap packages.

For the stable distribution (bullseye), this problem has been fixed in version 2.4.57+dfsg-3+deb11u1.
