Descriptions
A flaw was found in the 389-ds-base LDAP Server. This issue occurs when issuing a Modify DN LDAP operation through the ldap protocol, when the function return value is not tested and a NULL pointer is dereferenced. If a privileged user performs a ldap MODDN operation after a failed operation, it could lead to a Denial of Service (DoS) or system crash.
An update for the redhat-ds:12 module is now available for Red Hat Directory Server 12.4 EUS for RHEL 9. Issues addressed include denial of service and null pointer vulnerabilities.
