Details

An updated nss_ldap package that fixes password handling and a possible
infinite loop is now available.

nss_ldap is a set of C library extensions that allow X.500 and LDAP
directory servers to be used as a primary source of aliases, ethers,
groups, hosts, networks, protocols, users, RPCs, services, and shadow
passwords (instead of or in addition to using flat files or NIS).

This update fixes handling of passwords set to expire within the next 24
hours, changing passwords correctly when running against a MS Active
Directory 2000 server, and possible infinite looping with reentrant
versions of enumeration functions.

Users of nss_ldap should upgrade to this updated package, which resolves
these issues.
