CVE-2008-3283
|
| Created: | September 11, 2008 |
Updated: | September 17, 2008 |
| Description: |
From the Red Hat alert:
Multiple memory leaks were identified in the Directory Server. An
unauthenticated remote attacker could use these flaws to trigger high
memory consumption in the Directory Server, possibly causing it to crash or
terminate unexpectedly when the server ran out of available memory.
(CVE-2008-3283)
Ulf Weltman of Hewlett-Packard discovered a flaw in the way Directory
Server handled LDAP search requests with patterns. A remote attacker with
access to the LDAP service could create a search request that, when the
search pattern was matched against specially crafted data records, caused
Directory Server to use a large amount of CPU time. Directory Server did
not impose time limits on such search requests. In this updated package,
Directory Server imposes a configurable limit on the pattern-search query
run time, with the default limit set to 30 seconds. (CVE-2008-2930) |
