Summary

A stack buffer overflow flaw was found in 389 Directory Server (389-ds-base) in the get_ruvelement_from_berval() function. A remote unauthenticated attacker can send a crafted StartNSDS50ReplicationRequest with a replica ID field containing more than 16 digit characters, causing a crash of the LDAP server.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can cause a denial of service of the LDAP server, potentially disrupting directory services in the organization.

Recommendation

Update 389 Directory Server to a patched version and consider restricting replication access to trusted networks.

Original NVD description (English source)

A stack buffer overflow flaw was found in 389 Directory Server (389-ds-base). The get_ruvelement_from_berval() function in repl5_ruv.c copies digit characters from a network-supplied RUV berval into a fixed 16-byte stack buffer without bounds checking. A remote unauthenticated attacker can crash the LDAP server by sending a crafted StartNSDS50ReplicationRequest extended operation containing a replica ID field with more than 16 digit characters. The overflow occurs during payload decoding, before any authorization check. Stack protectors limit impact to denial of service.
