CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedOpenBSD versions 7.8 prior to errata 057 and 7.9 prior to errata 021 are vulnerable due to improper handling of delegated BSD authentication in the ldapd service, allowing a remote attacker to hijack authentication results by reusing file descriptors and message IDs. This critical vulnerability could enable an attacker to impersonate another user, potentially leading to unauthorized access to sensitive data. Organizations using OpenBSD with ldapd enabled should prioritize patching to mitigate this risk.

Original NVD Description
In ldapd in OpenBSD 7.8 before errata 057 and 7.9 before errata 021, delegated BSD authentication results are correlated only by the LDAP child process client file descriptor and LDAP message ID. After a connection closes, a later connection that reuses the same file descriptor and message ID can receive the earlier authentication result. A remote attacker who can reach ldapd can complete a Bind as another identity. A missing connection can also cause a NULL pointer dereference. (ldapd is not enabled by default.)
