389-ds-base vulnerabilities

Published Jul 18, 2022 · Updated Jun 25, 2026

Summary

It was discovered that 389 Directory Server presented to users, during
authentication, an error message which could be used to discover if a
certain LDAP DN existed or not. A remote unauthenticated attacker could
possibly use this to check the existence of an entry in a LDAP database
and expose sensitive information. This issue affected only Ubuntu 20.04
ESM. (CVE-2020-35518)

It was discovered that 389 Directory Server was incorrectly validating
data used to access memory addresses. An authenticated attacker using a
Syncrepl client could use this issue with a specially crafted query to
cause 389 Directory Server to crash, resulting in a denial of service.
(CVE-2021-3514)
