Frequently Asked Questions

1

Which deployments should be prioritized for this update?

Systems running Red Hat Directory Server components based on 389-ds-base are in scope, including the LDAP server and related package variants listed in the advisory. The affected issues include pre-authentication flaws, so exposure may exist before an LDAP user authenticates.

2

What attacker interaction is identified for the listed vulnerabilities?

Two of the listed issues are explicitly pre-authentication: LDAP filter injection in the CleanAllRUV status check and a stack buffer overflow through unbounded replica ID parsing. The deref control plugin issue is a NULL pointer dereference in its BER parser; the advisory does not state the access or configuration conditions required for it.

3

What can be done if immediate patching is not possible?

The provided advisory does not identify a temporary mitigation, configuration workaround, or detection method. Apply the Red Hat security update for the affected 389-ds-base packages when possible.
