DESCRIPTION:
A security issue and a vulnerability have been reported in Red Hat
Directory Server, which can be exploited by malicious users to
disclose sensitive information.
1) The security issue is caused due to new passwords being saved to
the audit log in plain text and can be exploited to disclose a user's
password.
Successful exploitation of the security issue requires that the audit
log is enabled (disabled by default).
2) The vulnerability is caused due to an error when changing password
and can be exploited to disclose a user's password via the
"unhashed#user#password" attribute.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability requires that the server
hasn't been restarted since the password change.
SOLUTION:
Updated packages are available via Red Hat Network.
