Synopsis:          Important: 389-ds-base security and bug fix update

Advisory ID:       SLSA-2017:0893-1

Issue Date:        2017-04-11

CVE Numbers:       CVE-2017-2668

--



Security Fix(es):



* An invalid pointer dereference flaw was found in the way 389-ds-base

handled LDAP bind requests. A remote unauthenticated attacker could use

this flaw to make ns-slapd crash via a specially crafted LDAP bind

request, resulting in denial of service. (CVE-2017-2668)



Bug Fix(es):



* Previously, the "deref" plug-in failed to dereference attributes that

use distinguished name (DN) syntax, such as "uniqueMember". With this

patch, the "deref" plug-in can dereference such attributes and

additionally "Name and Optional UID" syntax. As a result, the "deref"

plug-in now supports any syntax.
