Description

This security bulletin contains information about 5 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Stack-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-15134)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.

The weakness exists due to improper handling of Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) search filters by the 389-ds-base package. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted LDAP request, trigger a stack-based buffer overflow condition and cause the ns-slapd process to crash.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in denial of service.

2) Improper authentication (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-15135)

The vulnerability allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to bypass authentication on the target system.

The weakness exists due to improper handling of internal hash comparison operations. A remote attacker can bypass the authentication process.

3) Race condition (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-10850)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to a race condition in the way 389-ds-base handles persistent search. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request that submits malicious input and cause the system to crash.


4) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-10935)

The vulnerability allows a remote authenticated attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to improper processing of Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) queries. A remote attacker can send execute the ldapsearch command with server-side sorting controls and cause the LDAP server to crash, resulting in a DoS condition.


5) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-14624)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.

The weakness exists due to incorrect use of the lock controlling error log when re-opening the log file in log__error_emergency(. A remote attacker can send a flood of modifications to a very large DN and cause the slapd to crash.
