Descriptions

The deref_parseCtrl function in servers/slapd/overlays/deref.c in OpenLDAP 2.4.13 through 2.4.40 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and crash) via an empty attribute list in a deref control in a search request.

La función deref_parseCtrl en servers/slapd/overlays/deref.c en OpenLDAP 2.4.13 hasta 2.4.40 permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (referencia a puntero nulo y caída) a través de una lista de atributos vacía en un control de referencia en una solicitud de búsqueda.

It was discovered that OpenLDAP incorrectly handled certain search queries that returned empty attributes. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause OpenLDAP to assert, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. Michael Vishchers discovered that OpenLDAP improperly counted references when the rwm overlay was used. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause OpenLDAP to crash, resulting in a denial of service. Various other issues were also addressed.
