CVE-2020-36228
HighCVSS 7.5Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Very high risk100th percentile - higher than 100% of all known CVEs
Summary
An integer underflow was discovered in OpenLDAP before 2.4.57 leading to a slapd crash in the Certificate List Exact Assertion processing, resulting in denial of service.
Risk Assessment
An attacker can crash the slapd directory service, causing unavailability of authentication and other services relying on OpenLDAP. This leads to disruption of critical organizational services.
Recommendation
Update OpenLDAP to version 2.4.57 or later. Also restrict access to the directory service to trusted networks.
