Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.871793
Category:Red Hat Local Security Checks
Title:RedHat Update for 389-ds-base RHSA-2017:0893-01
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the '389-ds-base'; package(s) announced via the referenced advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the '389-ds-base'
package(s) announced via the referenced advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
389 Directory Server is an LDAP version 3
(LDAPv3) compliant server. The base packages include the Lightweight Directory
Access Protocol (LDAP) server and command-line utilities for server
administration.

Security Fix(es):

* An invalid pointer dereference flaw was found in the way 389-ds-base
handled LDAP bind requests. A remote unauthenticated attacker could use
this flaw to make ns-slapd crash via a specially crafted LDAP bind request,
resulting in denial of service. (CVE-2017-2668)

Red Hat would like to thank Joachim Jabs (F24) for reporting this issue.

Bug Fix(es):

* Previously, the 'deref' plug-in failed to dereference attributes that use
distinguished name (DN) syntax, such as 'uniqueMember'. With this patch,
the 'deref' plug-in can dereference such attributes and additionally 'Name
and Optional UID' syntax. As a result, the 'deref' plug-in now supports any
syntax. (BZ#1435365)

Affected Software/OS:
389-ds-base on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (v. 6),
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation (v. 6)

Solution:
Please Install the Updated Packages.
