    <p>
    OpenLDAP is a suite of LDAP-related applications and development tools.
    It includes slapd (the standalone LDAP server), slurpd (the standalone
    LDAP replication server), various LDAP libraries, utilities and example
    clients.
    </p>
  </background>
  <description>
    <p>
    slurpd contains a buffer overflow when reading very long hostnames from
    the status file.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    By injecting an overly long hostname in the status file, an attacker
    could possibly cause the execution of arbitrary code with the
    permissions of the user running slurpd.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All openLDAP users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=net-nds/openldap-2.3.22&quot;</code>
  </resolution>
