HIGH Summary
389-ds-base before versions 1.4.0.10, 1.3.8.3 is vulnerable to a race condition in the way 389-ds-base handles persistent search, resulting in a crash if the server is under load. An anonymous attacker could use this flaw to trigger a denial of service.
Vulnerable Configurations
Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)
Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)
- Leveraging Race Conditions This attack targets a race condition occurring when multiple processes access and manipulate the same resource concurrently and the outcome of the execution depends on the particular order in which the access takes place. The attacker can leverage a race condition by "running the race", modifying the resource and modifying the normal execution flow. For instance a race condition can occur while accessing a file, the attacker can trick the system by replacing the original file with his version and cause the system to read the malicious file.
- Leveraging Time-of-Check and Time-of-Use (TOCTOU) Race Conditions This attack targets a race condition occurring between the time of check (state) for a resource and the time of use of a resource. The typical example is the file access. The attacker can leverage a file access race condition by "running the race", meaning that he would modify the resource between the first time the target program accesses the file and the time the target program uses the file. During that period of time, the attacker could do something such as replace the file and cause an escalation of privilege.

NASL family Red Hat Local Security Checks NASL id REDHAT-RHSA-2018-2757.NASL description An update for 389-ds-base is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7. Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Moderate. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section. 389 Directory Server is an LDAP version 3 (LDAPv3) compliant server. The base packages include the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) server and command-line utilities for server administration. Security Fix(es) : * 389-ds-base: race condition on reference counter leads to DoS using persistent search (CVE-2018-10850) * 389-ds-base: ldapsearch with server side sort allows users to cause a crash (CVE-2018-10935) * 389-ds-base: Server crash through modify command with large DN (CVE-2018-14624) * 389-ds-base: Crash in delete_passwdPolicy when persistent search connections are terminated unexpectedly (CVE-2018-14638) For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section. The CVE-2018-10850 issue was discovered by Thierry Bordaz (Red Hat) and the CVE-2018-14638 issue was discovered by Viktor Ashirov (Red Hat). Bug Fix(es) : * Previously, the nucn-stans framework was enabled by default in Directory Server, but the framework is not stable. As a consequence, deadlocks and file descriptor leaks could occur.

An unauthenticated attacker able to issue an ldapmodrdn call to the directory server could perform unauthorized modifications of entries in the directory server. CVE-2017-15134 Improper handling of a search filter in slapi_filter_sprintf() in slapd/util.c can lead to remote server crash and denial of service. CVE-2018-1054 When read access on <attribute_name> is enabled, a flaw in SetUnicodeStringFromUTF_8 function in collate.c, can lead to out-of-bounds memory operations. This might result in a server crash, caused by unauthorized users. CVE-2018-1089 Any user (anonymous or authenticated) can crash ns-slapd with a crafted ldapsearch query with very long filter value. CVE-2018-10850 Due to a race condition the server could crash in turbo mode (because of high traffic) or when a worker reads several requests in the read buffer (more_data). Thus an anonymous attacker could trigger a denial of service.
