Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-07-22 12:51 – Updated: 2026-07-22 18:01

Title

389-ds-base: 389-ds-base: heap-buffer-overflow in rdn_av_swap on quoted multivalued rdn

Summary

A heap-buffer-overflow flaw was found in Directory Server (389-ds-base). When a DN contains a legacy-quoted value, the server won't close the heap allocation allowing another call to refer to the same memory pointer causing a denial of service or an arbitrary memory write operation.

Severity

5.3 (Medium)
