Advisory Content (Page 1 of 3)[ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ]

Description:
A vulnerability has been reported in Novell eDirectory, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) or compromise a vulnerable system.

The vulnerability is caused due to an integer overflow error in ds.dlm and can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted packet sent to default port 524/TCP.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.

NOTE: An error within the LDAP component when processing invalid extensibleMatch filters has also been reported.

The vulnerability is reported in version 8.8 and 8.7.3 for all platforms.
