Description Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2013-11-21 17:16:35 UTC
From ${URL} :

A flaw in how 389-ds-base and Red Hat Directory Server handled the checking of access rights on entries 
using GER (Get Effective Rights), a way to extend directory searches to also display what access rights a 
user has to a specified entry.  When an attribute list is given in the search request, and if there are 
several attributes whose names contain the '@' character, 389-ds-base and Red Hat Directory Server would 
crash.  An attacker able to contact the server would be able to submit this type of search request with no 
authentication required.


@maintainer(s): since the package has never been marked as stable, we don't need to stabilize it. Please remove the affected versions from the tree.

CVE-2013-4485 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2013-4485):
  389 Directory Server 1.2.11.15 (aka Red Hat Directory Server before
  8.2.11-14) allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service
  (crash) via multiple @ characters in a GER attribute list in a search
  request.

Hi,

We have updated 389-ds-base to 1.3.4.7. This should resolve the issue.

Thanks,
