Summary

The Directory Proxy Server (DPS) in Sun Java System Directory Server Enterprise Edition versions 6.0 through 6.3.1 lacks the SO_KEEPALIVE socket option. This oversight allows remote attackers to exploit multiple connections to exhaust available connection slots, resulting in a denial-of-service condition. This vulnerability emphasizes the importance of proper socket configuration to ensure the availability of server resources.
