Title
389-ds-base: 389-ds-base: cve-2026-11610 incomplete fix may introduce a connection-stall dos
Summary
A flaw was found in 389-ds-base. A remote, authenticated attacker could exploit a vulnerability in the Simple Authentication and Security Layer (SASL) UNBIND process. By sending a specially crafted request, the attacker can cause a connection to stall, leading to resource exhaustion and a Denial of Service (DoS) for the server.

This action may impact legitimate clients if not configured correctly. A service restart is not required for firewall changes to take effect."
