Important: 389-ds-base security update (Amazon Linux 2)

Published Jun 8, 2026 · Updated Jun 8, 2026

Summary

Package updates are available for Amazon Linux 2 that fix the following vulnerabilities: CVE-2026-9064: A flaw was found in 389-ds-base. The get_ldapmessage_controls_ext() function in the LDAP server does not enforce an upper bound on the number of controls per LDAP message. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can send a specially crafted LDAP request containing hundreds of thousands of minimal controls within the default maximum BER message size (2 MB), causing excessive CPU consumption and heap allocation on the server. Under concurrent exploitation, this leads to significant latency degradation, worker thread starvation, or out-of-memory termination, resulting in a denial of service.
