Description

This security bulletin contains information about 11 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Integer underflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-36221)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to integer underflow within the serialNumberAndIssuerCheck() function in schema_init.c. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request to the affected application, trigger an integer underflow and crash the slapd.



2) Reachable Assertion (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-36222)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a reachable assertion in slapd in the saslAuthzTo validation. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


3) Double Free (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-36223)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error during the Values Return Filter control handling. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request to the slapd, trigger a double free error and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


4) Release of invalid pointer or reference (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-36224)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to release of an invalid pointer when processing saslAuthzTo requests. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request to slapd and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


5) Double Free (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-36225)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in the saslAuthzTo processing. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request to the slapd, trigger a double free error and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack


6) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-36226)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to improper management of internal resources within the application leading to a memch->bv_len miscalculation during saslAuthzTo processing. A remote attacker can send specially crafted request to the slapd and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


7) Infinite loop (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-36227)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to infinite loop in slapd with the cancel_extop Cancel operation. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request and perform a denial of service conditions.


8) Integer underflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-36228)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to integer underflow when processing the certificate list exact assertion. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request to the slapd, trigger integer underflow and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.



9) Type Confusion (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-36229)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a type confusion error in ldap_X509dn2bv when parsing X.509 DN in ad_keystring. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request to slapd and crash it.


10) Reachable Assertion (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-36230)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a reachable assertion when parsing the X.509 DN within the ber_next_element() function in decode.c. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request to slapd and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


11) Reachable Assertion (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-27212)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a reachable assertion when processing LDAP packets within the issuerAndThisUpdateCheck() function in  schema_init.c. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted packet with a short timestamp to the slapd and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
