DESCRIPTION:
Evgeny Legerov has reported a vulnerability in CommuniGate Pro
Server, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS
(Denial of Service).

The vulnerability is caused due to an error in the LDAP component
during handling of LDAP requests containing a large number of
elements in the DN (Distinguished Names) field. This can be exploited
to crash the service via a specially-crafted LDAP request.

The vulnerability has been reported in version 5.0.7. Prior versions
may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 5.0.8.
