2) Security restrictions bypass (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2031)

The vulnerability allows a remote user to escalate privileges on the system.

4) Infinite loop (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-32745)

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

The vulnerability exists due to infinite loop when processing LDAP requests. A remote user can send a specially crafted LDAP request to the server, consume all available system resources and cause denial of service conditions.


5) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-32746)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error when handling LDAP requests.
