Description Vasyl Kaigorodov 2015-07-01 15:20:52 UTC
The openldap (for NSS) emulation of the openssl cipherstring parsing code
incorrectly implements the multi-keyword mode.
As a consequence anyone using a combination like:

  ECDH+SHA

will not get the expected set of ciphers

  ECDH-RSA-RC4-SHA
  ECDH-RSA-DES-CBC3-SHA
  ECDH-RSA-AES128-SHA
  ECDH-RSA-AES256-SHA
  ECDH-ECDSA-RC4-SHA

  ECDHE-ECDSA-RC4-SHA
  ECDHE-ECDSA-DES-CBC3-SHA
  ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-SHA
  ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-SHA

but instead will match

Comment 9 Ankur Sao 2016-03-03 07:28:50 UTC
Which version of openLdap is affected by this vulnerability and in which version it is fixed ?

By the looks of it, all versions of openLdap are affected; I know the
latest at 2.4.44 is.

I tried submitting this bug upstream, but got turned away because of
IPR concerns over the rights to the fix, ref.

  http://www.openldap.org/its/index.cgi?findid=8543

Can someone from RedHat please submit this bugfix to LDAP, because
that doesn't appear to have happened...

Best regards,
