http://secunia.com/advisories/22682/

CRITICAL:
Less critical

IMPACT:
Security Bypass

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
pam_ldap 1.x
http://secunia.com/product/2131/

DESCRIPTION:
Steve Rigler has reported a security issue in pam_ldap, which can be
exploited by malicious people to bypass certain security
restrictions.

The security issue is caused due to an error within the handling of
"PasswordPolicyResponse" control messages when authenticating against
an LDAP server. This causes the "pam_authenticate()" function to
always succeed, even if the previous authentication failed.

SOLUTION:
Update to pam_ldap 183.
