./databases/ldb, LDAP-like embedded database

[ CVSweb ] [ Homepage ] [ RSS ] [ Required by ] [ Add to tracker ]

Branch: CURRENT, Version: 2.2.1, Package name: ldb-2.2.1, Maintainer: pkgsrc-users

ldb is a LDAP-like embedded database. It is not at all LDAP standards
compliant, so if you want a standards compliant database then please see the
excellent OpenLDAP project.

What ldb does is provide a fast database with an LDAP-like API designed to be
used within an application. In some ways it can be seen as a intermediate
solution between key-value pair databases and a real LDAP database.

ldb is the database engine used in Samba4.

Features:
* The main features that separate ldb from other solutions are:
* Safe multi-reader, multi-writer, using byte range locking
* LDAP-like API
* fast operation
* choice of local tdb or remote LDAP backends
* integration with talloc
* schema-less operation, for trivial setup
* modules for extensions (such as schema support)
* easy setup of indexes and attribute properties
* LDIF for import/export
* ldbedit tool for database (via LDIF) editing (reminiscent of 'vipw')

                   ==============================

This is a follow-up release to depend on the correct ldb version. This is only
needed when building against a system ldb library.

This is a security release in order to address the following defects:

o CVE-2020-27840: Heap corruption via crafted DN strings.
o CVE-2021-20277: Out of bounds read in AD DC LDAP server.

=======
Details
=======

o  CVE-2020-27840:
   An anonymous attacker can crash the Samba AD DC LDAP server by sending easily
   crafted DNs as part of a bind request. More serious heap corruption is likely
   also possible.

o  CVE-2021-20277:
   User-controlled LDAP filter strings against the AD DC LDAP server may crash
   the LDAP server.

For more details, please refer to the security advisories.

Changes since 4.13.6
