Description: Some vulnerabilities have been reported in OpenLDAP, which can be exploited by malicious users to cause a DoS (Denial of Service). 1) A vulnerability is caused due to the "add_filter_attrs()" function in servers/slapd/overlay/pcache.c not correctly NULL terminating "new_attrs", which can be exploited to crash slapd due to an out of bounds memory access. Successful exploitation may require that slapd runs as proxy-caching server. 2) An error within the normalisation of "objectClasses" can be exploited to crash a vulnerable server by sending a malformed "objectClasses" attribute. The vulnerabilities are reported in versions prior to 2.3.39. 3) An error when performing modify operations with a NOOP control on entries stored in the BDB backend can be exploited to crash the slapd daemon. The vulnerability is reported in versions prior to 2.3.36. Note: Several other bugs, which may have a security impact, were also reported. Solution: Update to version 2.3.39. http://www.openldap.org/software/download/ Provided and/or discovered by: 1) Tony Blake 2) Thomas Sesselmann 3) Jonathan Clarke Changelog: 2007-10-31: Added CVE reference. 2008-02-08: Added vulnerability #3.
