CVE-2005-2377: Mandrakesoft Mandrake Linux

Medium severity, CVSS 5.0. EPSS: 2.5% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

nss_ldap 181 to versions before 213, as used in Mandrake Corporate Server and Mandrake 10.0, and other operating systems, does not properly handle a SIGPIPE signal when sending a search request to an LDAP directory server, which might allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crond and other application crash) if they can cause an LDAP server to become unavailable. NOTE: it is not clear whether this attack scenario is sufficient to include this item in CVE.

Affected products

• Mandrakesoft Mandrake Linux: version 10.0 only
• Mandrakesoft Mandrake Linux Corporate Server: any version
