Red Hat Security Advisory 2017-0920-01 - 389 Directory Server is an LDAP version 3 compliant server. The base packages include the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol server and command-line utilities for server administration. Security Fix: An invalid pointer dereference flaw was found in the way 389-ds-base handled LDAP bind requests. A remote unauthenticated attacker could use this flaw to make ns-slapd crash via a specially crafted LDAP bind request, resulting in denial of service.

3. Description:

389 Directory Server is an LDAP version 3 (LDAPv3) compliant server. The
base packages include the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)
server and command-line utilities for server administration.

Security Fix(es):

* An invalid pointer dereference flaw was found in the way 389-ds-base
handled LDAP bind requests. A remote unauthenticated attacker could use
this flaw to make ns-slapd crash via a specially crafted LDAP bind request,
resulting in denial of service. (CVE-2017-2668)

Red Hat would like to thank Joachim Jabs (F24) for reporting this issue.

Bug Fix(es):

* Previously, when adding a filtered role definition that uses the "nsrole"
virtual attribute in the filter, Directory Server terminated unexpectedly.
A patch has been applied, and now the roles plug-in ignores all virtual
attributes. As a result, an error message is logged when an invalid filter
is used. Additionally, the role is deactivated and Directory Server no
longer fails. (BZ#1429498)

* In a replication topology, Directory Server incorrectly calculated the
size of string format entries when a lot of entries were deleted. The
calculated size of entries was smaller than the actual required size.
Consequently, Directory Server allocated insufficient memory and terminated
unexpectedly when the data was written to it. With this update, the size of
string format entries is now calculated correctly in the described
situation and Directory Server no longer terminates unexpectedly.
(BZ#1429495)

4. Solution:

For details on how to apply this update, which includes the changes
described in this advisory, refer to:

https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258

After installing this update, the 389 server service will be restarted
automatically.

5. Bugs fixed (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/):

1429495 - ns-slapd dies under heavy load
1429498 - A filtered nsrole that specifies an empty nsrole in its nsRoleFilter will result in a segfault.
