TITLE:
Sun Java System Directory Server LDAP Request Buffer Overflow

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA14960

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/14960/

CRITICAL:
Moderately critical

IMPACT:
DoS, System access

WHERE:
>From local network

SOFTWARE:
Sun Java System Directory Server 5.x
http://secunia.com/product/1520/

DESCRIPTION:
Sun 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.

SOLUTION:
Apply patches.

-- Sun ONE Directory Server 5.1 --

Apply SP4 or later.
