Descriptions

pam_ldap in nss_ldap on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4, Fedora Core 3 and earlier, and possibly other distributions does not return an error condition when an LDAP directory server responds with a PasswordPolicyResponse control response, which causes the pam_authenticate function to return a success code even if authentication has failed, as originally reported for xscreensaver.

pam_ldap en nss_ldap sobre Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4, Fedora Core 3 y anteriores, y posiblemente otras distribuciones no devuelven una condición de error cuando un servidor de directorio LDAP responde con una respuesta de control PasswordPolicyResponse, lo cual provoca que la función pam_authenticate devuelva código correcto aunque haya fallado, según lo divulgado originalmente para el xscreensaver.
