Description:
A vulnerability has been reported in Red Hat Directory Server, which can be exploited by malicious users to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) or potentially compromise a vulnerable system.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the regular expression handler and can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow by supplying an overly long regular expression in an LDAP search.
Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.
