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 error in calculating the size of a heap buffer for storing LDAP search parameters. This can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow with the string "(null)" via NULL search parameters.
Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.
The vulnerability affects version 8.8 and 8.7.3 on all platforms.
