PADL MigrationTools 46 creates temporary files insecurely, which allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the temporary files, which are not properly created by (1) migrate_all_online.sh, (2) migrate_all_offline.sh, (3) migrate_all_netinfo_online.sh, (4) migrate_all_netinfo_offline.sh, (5) migrate_all_nis_online.sh, (6) migrate_all_nis_offline.sh, (7) migrate_all_nisplus_online.sh, and (8) migrate_all_nisplus_offline.sh.

PADL MigrationTools 46, when a failure occurs, stores contents of /etc/shadow in a world-readable /tmp/nis.$$.ldif file, and possibly other sensitive information in other temporary files, which are not properly managed by (1) migrate_all_online.sh, (2) migrate_all_offline.sh, (3) migrate_all_netinfo_online.sh, (4) migrate_all_netinfo_offline.sh, (5) migrate_all_nis_online.sh, (6) migrate_all_nis_offline.sh, (7) migrate_all_nisplus_online.sh, and (8) migrate_all_nisplus_offline.sh.

Unknown vulnerability in pam_ldap before 180 does not properly handle a new password policy control, which could allow attackers to gain privileges. NOTE: CVE-2005-2497 had also been assigned to this issue, but CVE-2005-2641 is the correct candidate.

Unknown vulnerability in the pam_filter mechanism in pam_ldap before version 162, when LDAP based authentication is being used, allows users to bypass host-based access restrictions and log onto the system.

Buffer overflow in the DNS SRV code for nss_ldap before nss_ldap-198 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code.

Format string vulnerability in the logging() function in C-Note Squid LDAP authentication module (squid_auth_LDAP) 2.0.2 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code by triggering log messages.

Format string vulnerability in the logging function for the pam_ldap PAM LDAP module before version 144 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via format strings in the configuration file name.

nss_ldap earlier than 121, when run with nscd (name service caching daemon), allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a flood of LDAP requests.
