RHSA-2026:65119
Vulnerability from csaf_redhat - Published: 2026-09-08 07:43 - Updated: 2026-09-08 22:49A heap buffer overflow flaw was found in the SASL I/O layer of 389 Directory Server (389-ds-base). In sasl_io_start_packet(), the wrapped-record length read from the wire is validated only against an upper bound. A small wire length (0, 1, or 2) produces an encrypted_buffer_count below the already-consumed encrypted_buffer_offset, causing an unsigned subtraction underflow in sasl_io_read_packet(). PR_Recv is then requested to read approximately 4 GiB into a 1024-byte heap buffer, resulting in a heap buffer overflow with attacker-controlled content. After a successful SASL bind with integrity protection (SSF > 0), a remote authenticated attacker can cause a denial of service or potentially achieve remote code execution. This flaw is distinct from CVE-2026-11774, whose fix only guards against upper-bound overflow.

A flaw was found in 389 Directory Server. A missing NULL pointer check in the paged results handling of op_shared_search allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to crash the LDAP server by sending a crafted sequence of search requests using the USE_ONE_BACKEND control, resulting in denial of service.

Workaround

A flaw was found in 389 Directory Server. The SELFDN ACI bind-rule evaluator incorrectly matches an anonymous LDAP client's empty bind DN against an empty stored attribute value, allowing an unauthenticated client to satisfy access control checks intended to require a matching authenticated identity. This can allow an anonymous LDAP client to perform an operation, such as adding or modifying a directory entry, that a SELFDN-based ACI intended to restrict to a specific authenticated user.

Workaround
|
A flaw was found in 389-ds-base. A remote, authenticated attacker could exploit a vulnerability in the Simple Authentication and Security Layer (SASL) UNBIND process. By sending a specially crafted request, the attacker can cause a connection to stall, leading to resource exhaustion and a Denial of Service (DoS) for the server.

This can be achieved by configuring firewall rules to limit inbound connections to the LDAP ports (typically 389 for LDAP and 636 for LDAPS) to known, authorized IP addresses or subnets.\n\nExample using `firewalld`:\n```bash\n# firewall-cmd --permanent --add-rich-rule=\u0027rule family=\"ipv4\" source address=\"\u003cTRUSTED_IP_OR_SUBNET\u003e\" port port=\"389\" protocol=\"tcp\" accept\u0027\n# firewall-cmd --permanent --add-rich-rule=\u0027rule family=\"ipv4\" source address=\"\u003cTRUSTED_IP_OR_SUBNET\u003e\" port port=\"636\" protocol=\"tcp\" accept\u0027\n# firewall-cmd --reload\n```\nReplace `\u003cTRUSTED_IP_OR_SUBNET\u003e` with the actual IP addresses or network ranges of your trusted clients. This action may impact legitimate clients if not configured correctly. A service restart is not required for firewall changes to take effect.",
