    Published: 30 Jun 2005Last Modified: 10 Apr 2026

    Summary:

    Details: pam_ldap and nss_ldap, when used with OpenLDAP and connecting to a slave using TLS, does not use TLS for the subsequent connection if the client is referred to a master, which may cause a password to be sent in cleartext and allows remote attackers to sniff the password.
