CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedA vulnerability exists in the 389-ds-base software, where the get_ldapmessage_controls_ext() function improperly handles memory management, leading to a double-free condition. This flaw allows unauthenticated remote attackers to exploit the system by sending a specially crafted BIND request, potentially causing heap corruption and resulting in a denial of service. Organizations using 389-ds-base should prioritize addressing this vulnerability to mitigate risks associated with remote exploitation.
Original NVD Description
A flaw was found in 389-ds-base. The get_ldapmessage_controls_ext() function frees the parsed controls array on the Session Tracking critical-control rejection path without clearing the SLAPI_REQCONTROLS pblock slot. Operation teardown then frees the same pointer again, causing a double-free. An unauthenticated remote attacker can trigger this with a single BIND request carrying a critical Session Tracking control, resulting in heap corruption and potential denial of service.
