Denial of Service Vulnerability in 389 Directory Server by Red Hat

CVE-2011-0019

Summary

The 389 Directory Server version 1.2.7.5, also known as Red Hat Directory Server 8.2.x, is susceptible to a vulnerability that arises from its improper handling of simple paged result searches. This flaw can be exploited by remote attackers, allowing them to initiate multiple search requests that may lead to a denial of service condition by crashing the server's daemon. Consequently, this could disrupt the normal operation of the server and potentially impact other services, making this vulnerability critical to address.
