What is CVE-2001-1307?

The iPlanet Directory Server, specifically versions 4.1.4 and earlier, is susceptible to buffer overflow vulnerabilities that can be exploited by remote attackers. Exploitation of this issue can lead to a denial of service, causing the server to crash, and may also allow attackers to execute arbitrary code on the affected system. This vulnerability was notably highlighted by the PROTOS LDAPv3 test suite, which demonstrated the potential risks associated with improper input handling in LDAP requests.
