CVE-2026-103547

CriticalCVSS 9.2
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

In ldapd in OpenBSD 7.8 before errata 057 and 7.9 before errata 021, delegated BSD authentication results are correlated only by the LDAP child process client file descriptor and LDAP message ID. After a connection closes, a later connection that reuses the same file descriptor and message ID can receive the earlier authentication result. A remote attacker who can reach ldapd can complete a Bind as another identity. A missing connection can also cause a NULL pointer dereference. (ldapd is not enabled by default.)

Risk Assessment

The risk includes the possibility of unauthorized access to the system by impersonating another identity and potential crash of the ldapd service, which may lead to security and availability compromise.

Recommendation

It is recommended to apply the appropriate errata for OpenBSD (057 for 7.8 and 021 for 7.9) or upgrade the system to a version containing the fix.
