Synopsis:	Low: nss_ldap bug fix update
Issue date:	2008-05-09

When the nss_ldap plug-in attempted to format the list of a group's members
for an application, it did not correctly detect when the space provided to
store that list was insufficient. For large groups, this resulted in a
corrupt heap, which typically resulted in the calling application crashing,
or a segmentation fault.

SL 3.0.x

     SRPMS:
nss_ldap-207-21.src.rpm
     i386:
nss_ldap-207-21.i386.rpm
     x86_64:
nss_ldap-207-21.i386.rpm
nss_ldap-207-21.x86_64.rpm
