<title>pam_ldap and nss_ldap: Plain text authentication leak</title>
<synopsis>
pam_ldap and nss_ldap fail to restart TLS when following a referral,
possibly leading to credentials being sent in plain text.

<p>
pam_ldap is a Pluggable Authentication Module which allows
authentication against an LDAP directory. nss_ldap is a Name Service
Switch module which allows 'passwd', 'group' and 'host' database
information to be pulled from LDAP. TLS is Transport Layer Security, a
protocol that allows encryption of network communications.
</p>
</background>
<description>
<p>
Rob Holland of the Gentoo Security Audit Team discovered that
pam_ldap and nss_ldap fail to use TLS for referred connections if they
are referred to a master after connecting to a slave, regardless of the
"ssl start_tls" ldap.conf setting.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>
An attacker could sniff passwords or other sensitive information
as the communication is not encrypted.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
pam_ldap and nss_ldap can be set to force the use of SSL instead
of TLS.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All pam_ldap users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=sys-auth/pam_ldap-178-r1"</code>
<p>
All nss_ldap users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose sys-auth/nss_ldap</code>
