389-ds-base-1.3.7.5-28.el7

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):

* 389-ds-base: race condition on reference counter leads to DoS using persistent search (CVE-2018-10850)

* 389-ds-base: ldapsearch with server side sort allows users to cause a crash (CVE-2018-10935)

* 389-ds-base: Server crash through modify command with large DN (CVE-2018-14624)

* 389-ds-base: Crash in delete_passwdPolicy when persistent search connections are terminated unexpectedly (CVE-2018-14638)

The CVE-2018-10850 issue was discovered by Thierry Bordaz (Asianux) and the CVE-2018-14638 issue was discovered by Viktor Ashirov (Asianux).

Bug Fix(es):

* Previously, the nucn-stans framework was enabled by default in Directory Server, but the framework is not stable. As a consequence, deadlocks and file descriptor leaks could occur. This update changes the default value of the nsslapd-enable-nunc-stans parameter to "off". As a result, Directory Server is now stable. (BZ#1614836)

* When a search evaluates the "shadowAccount" entry, Directory Server adds the shadow attributes to the entry. If the fine-grained password policy is enabled, the "shadowAccount" entry can contain its own "pwdpolicysubentry" policy attribute. Previously, to retrieve this attribute, the server started an internal search for each "shadowAccount" entry, which was unnecessary because the entry was already known to the server. With this update, Directory Server only starts internal searches if the entry is not known. As a result, the performance of searches, such as response time and throughput, is improved. (BZ#1615924)

CVE-2018-10850
389-ds-base before versions 1.4.0.10, 1.3.8.3 is vulnerable to a race condition in the way 389-ds-base handles persistent search, resulting in a crash if the server is under load. An anonymous attacker could use this flaw to trigger a denial of service.
CVE-2018-10935
A flaw was found in the 389 Directory Server that allows users to cause a crash in the LDAP server using ldapsearch with server side sort.
CVE-2018-14624
A vulnerability was discovered in 389-ds-base through versions 1.3.7.10, 1.3.8.8 and 1.4.0.16. The lock controlling the error log was not correctly used when re-opening the log file in log__error_emergency(). An attacker could send a flood of modifications to a very large DN, which would cause slapd to crash.
CVE-2018-14638
A flaw was found in 389-ds-base before version 1.3.8.4-13. The process ns-slapd crashes in delete_passwdPolicy function when persistent search connections are terminated unexpectedly leading to remote denial of service.
