OpenLDAP is a collection of applications and development tools for the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP).
OpenLDAP was found to contain a vulnerability in its Berkeley DB (BDB) storage backend. If an authenticated attacker could issue "modify" or "modrdn" commands with NOOP control on objects, it could potentially cause the slapd process to crash. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the names CVE-2007-6698 and CVE-2008-0658 to these issues.
The Avaya EMMC, Intuity AUDIX LX, Messaging Storage Server, Message Networking and Voice Portal products are rated as a Medium risk as these products have critical functionality that depends on the slapd process. All other products have the openldap packages installed but the usage of this software is not considered to be critical to the overall operation of the product.
More information about these vulnerabilities can be found in the security advisory issued by RedHat Linux:

Recommended Actions:
For all vulnerable system products,
Avaya recommends that customers restrict local
and network access to the server. This restriction should be
enforced through the use of physical security, firewalls, ACLs,
VPNs, and other generally-accepted networking practices until such
time as an update becomes available and can be installed.
Avaya software-only products operate on general-purpose operating systems. Occasionally vulnerabilities may be discovered in the underlying operating system or applications that come with the operating system. These vulnerabilities often do not impact the software-only product directly but may threaten the integrity of the underlying platform.
In the case of this advisory Avaya software-only products are not affected by the vulnerability directly but the underlying Linux platform may be. Customers should determine on which Linux operating system the product was installed and then follow that vendor's guidance.
