Christopher Faulet 31cd3d13aa BUG/MINOR: tcpcheck: Check LDAP response to not read more data than available
tcpcheck_ldap_expect_bindrsp() parses ASN.1 BER-encoded LDAP responses from
the health check target. After reading the outer message size and validating
protocol fields, it encounters a long-form BER length for the bindResponse
value (high bit set in the length byte). The code reads nbytes = (*ptr &
0x7f) then advances ptr by 1 + nbytes without checking that enough bytes
remain in the receive buffer. So, it is possible to read more data than
available.

Note that it is only possible if the LDAP response was forged because the
message length was already checked. LDAP response remains quite short and it
is not possible to read outside the buffer area. So at worst, garbage are
parsed and a wrong result is reported by the LDAP health-check. Most
probably an error will be reported.

This patch could be backported to all stable versions.
