nss_ldap earlier than 121, when run with nscd (name service caching daemon), allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a flood of LDAP requests.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2000-1045 requires local access, meaning attackers must already have a foothold on the target system.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
