bug in libwrap code
I found a little DoS bug in the libwrap code for 1.1.2. Occurs when the
client connecting doesn't have a reverse lookup. Offending code occurs
in server/slapd/daemon.c:
line 280
if (!(hosts_ctl("slapd", client_name, client_addr, STRING_UNKNOWN))
A little further up you can see where client_name is NULL when the ip
does not have a host lookup. libwrap expects STRING_UNKNOWN for
anything that isn't set. Changed it to this:
if (!(hosts_ctl("slapd", client_name != NULL ? client_name :
STRING_UNKNOWN, client_addr, STRING_UNKNOWN))
Works great for me and hosts.{allow,deny} functionality is still
working (most importantly when ALL: PARANOID is setup).
Also I'd like to note for the devel team that OpenLDAP is being
packaged for Debian's distribution (by me). So far it seems to be a
great project...keep up the good work.
