Summary
Red Hat Security Advisory: Red Hat Directory Server 7.1 Service Pack 5 security update

Notes

Topic
An updated redhat-ds package that addresses a security issue is now available as Red Hat Directory Server 7.1, Service Pack 5. This update has been rated as having important security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team.
Details
Red Hat Directory Server is an LDAPv3-compliant directory server. A shell command injection flaw was discovered in the Red Hat Administration Server replication monitor CGI script used by Red Hat Directory Server 7.1. An attacker with access to the replication monitor web page could execute arbitrary shell commands with the "root" user privileges used by Administration Server. (CVE-2008-0892) Please note: simply installing the updated package does not correct the security issue for previously created instances of the Administration Server. After installation, the following steps must be manually performed to resolve the security issue: # cd /opt/redhat-ds # ./setup/setup -r For more information about Service Pack 5, including upgrade and installation instructions for users running Red Hat Directory Server 7.1 on Solaris, please refer to the Red Hat Directory Server 7.1 SP5 release notes, available at: http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/dir-server/release-notes/7.1SP5/ All users of Red Hat Directory Server 7.1 should upgrade to Service Pack 5, which resolves this issue.
