389 Directory Server is an LDAP version 3 compliant server. The base packages include the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol server and command-line utilities for server administration. Security Fix: It was found that 389 Directory Server was vulnerable to a flaw in which the default ACI could be read by an anonymous user. This could lead to leakage of sensitive information. An information disclosure flaw was found in 389 Directory Server. A user with no access to objects in certain LDAP sub-tree could send LDAP ADD operations with a specific object name. The error message returned to the user was different based on whether the target object existed or not.
