Description:
A security issue has been reported in Sun Java System Directory Server, which can be exploited by malicious people to gain unauthorised access.
The problem is caused due to an unspecified error during the initial installation process, which may cause wrong user data to be entered into a file created during installation of the administration server instance. This can be exploited to gain unauthorised administrative access to the directory server by logging into the directory server console.
The security issue has been reported in version 5.2 for all platforms. Version 5.2 Patch4 with a full install (non-incremental), and version 5.1 and prior are not affected.
Solution:
The vendor recommends changing the administrative user password manually (see vendor advisory for instructions).
Provided and/or discovered by:
Reported by the vendor.
