Summary
Red Hat Security Advisory: Netscape Directory Server security update

Notes

Topic
Patches for Netscape Directory Server that fix a remotely exploitable security issue are now available.
Details
In December 2004 Red Hat aquired the Netscape Directory Server product from America Online, Inc. A stack buffer overflow was found in the access control code in Netscape Directory Server 6.21 and earlier. A remote attacker who can communicate with the LDAP service could trigger this flaw by creating a carefully crafted attribute change request. A sucessful exploit would lead to a denial of service (crash) or potentially to remote code execution on the server. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-1236 to this issue.
