LDAPv3 Updates – NET+OS 6.3

Last Updated: 08/18/06 Fix Count: 1

 
Title
LDAPv3 queries could cause a system crash
 
Case: 1216020
 
Date Fixed: 08/18/06
 
Description
When running an ldapv3 client from any NET+ARM board and using the board to make
an inquiry of a directory server, if the number of entities returned was more than 2,
the NET+ARM running NET+OS would crash.
 
Solution
Return values from ldap_first_entry and ldap_next_entry were being deallocated (freed).
In fact these variables were not allocated (malloced) in the first place so freeing them was

causing memory corruption. The memory corruption was causing a system crash.
