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

Comment 1 Josh Bressers 2007-09-05 20:39:43 UTC
This flaw has been rated as having a low severity by the Red Hat Security
Response Team.  More information about this rating can be
found here: http://www.redhat.com/security/updates/classification/

The risks associated with fixing this bug are greater than the low severity
security risk. We therefore currently have no plans to fix this flaw in Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 2.1 which is in maintenance mode.

If you believe this judgement to be in error, please reopen this bug with an
appropriate comment.
