CVE-2013-0288: Arthurdejong Nss-Pam-Ldapd

Medium severity, CVSS 6.8. EPSS: 3.6% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

nss-pam-ldapd before 0.7.18 and 0.8.x before 0.8.11 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code by performing a name lookup on an application with a large number of open file descriptors, which triggers a stack-based buffer overflow related to incorrect use of the FD_SET macro.
