Details

389-ds-base before version 1.3.6 is vulnerable to an improperly NULL terminated array in the uniquenessentryto_config() function in the "attribute uniqueness" plugin of 389 Directory Server. An authenticated, or possibly unauthenticated, attacker could use this flaw to force an out-of-bound heap memory read, possibly triggering a crash of the LDAP service.
