Description

This security bulletin contains information about 5 vulnerabilities.


1) Improper Authentication (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-3652)

CWE-ID: CWE-287 - Improper Authentication

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass authentication process.

The vulnerability exists due to an error in the way the asterisk character is processed by the LDAP server when importing password hashes from /etc/shadow for disabled accounts. As a result of the flaw, if an LDAP admin imports such an account from a NIS or /etc/shadow database into Directory Server, any password will be valid for that account.


2) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-4091)

CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:A/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error when processing virtual attributes context in persistent searches. A remote user can send specially crafted search requests to the directory server, trigger a use-after-free error and crash the server.



3) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-0918)

CWE-ID: CWE-119 - Memory corruption

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when handling network packets. A remote attacker can create a single TCP packet to the LDAP port, trigger a segmentation fault and crash the slapd daemon.


4) Insufficient Session Expiration (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-0996)

CWE-ID: CWE-613 - Insufficient Session Expiration

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient session expiration issue that allows expired passwords to access the database to cause improper authentication. A remote non-authenticated attacker can obtain or guess session token and gain unauthorized access to session that belongs to another user.


5) Incorrect authorization (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-1949)

CWE-ID: CWE-863 - Incorrect Authorization

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service attack.

The vulnerability exists due to incorrect authorization in the 389-ds-base package where some LDAP queries can cause performance issues. A remote attacker can send a non-optimal search that causes serious performance issues within the directory server.
