openldap improper selfwrite access The way openldap handles selfwrite access is broken. Users with selfwrite access should only be able to add/remove their own DN to the target, but via this bug any DN may be modified. This was fixed upstream in version 2.3.25 http://www.openldap.org/its/index.cgi/Software%20Bugs?id=4587 http://secunia.com/advisories/21721/ A reproducer can be found here: http://www.openldap.org/devel/cvsweb.cgi/tests/scripts/test006-acls?hideattic=1&sortbydate=0 This issue also affects RHEL3 This issue also affects RHEL2.1
