Sun Java System Directory Server LDAP Request Buffer Overflow

   
Sun MicrosystemsSun has acknowledged a vulnerability in Sun ONE/Java System Directory Server, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) or compromise a vulnerable system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the access control implementation when handling LDAP requests. This can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow via a specially crafted, invalid LDAP request.

Successful exploitation crashes the LDAP service or allows execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the LDAP process.

SOFTWARE:
Sun Java System Directory Server 5.x
