TITLE:
Ubuntu update for openldap

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA37355

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/37355/

DESCRIPTION:
Ubuntu has issued an update for openldap. This fixes a vulnerability,
which can potentially be exploited by malicious people to conduct
spoofing attacks.

The vulnerability is caused due to an error when processing
certificates containing NULL ('\0') characters in the subject's
Common Name (CN) field. This can be exploited to e.g. conduct
Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) attacks via specially crafted certificates.

SOLUTION:
Apply updated packages.

-- Ubuntu 6.06 LTS --
