389 Directory Server in Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop 6 through 7, Red Hat Enterprise Linux HPC Node 6 through 7, Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 6 through 7, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation 6 through 7 allows remote attackers to infer the existence of RDN component objects.

This update for 389-ds fixes the following issues :

  - CVE-2017-7551: 389-ds-base: Password brute-force     possible for locked account due to different return     codes (bsc#1051997)

  - CVE-2016-4992: 389-ds: Information disclosure via     repeated use of LDAP ADD operation (bsc#997256)

  - CVE-2016-5405: 389-ds: Password verification vulnerable     to timing attack (bsc#1007004)

  - CVE-2017-2591: 389-ds-base: Heap buffer overflow in     uiduniq.c (bsc#1020670)

  - CVE-2017-2668 389-ds Remote crash via crafted LDAP     messages (bsc#1069067)

  - CVE-2016-0741: 389-ds: worker threads do not detect     abnormally closed connections causing DoS (bsc#1069074)

CVE-2016-5405 389-ds-base: Password verification vulnerable to timing attack

It was found that 389 Directory Server was vulnerable to a remote password disclosure via timing attack. A remote attacker could possibly use this flaw to retrieve directory server password after many tries.

CVE-2016-5416 389-ds-base: ACI readable by anonymous user

It was found that 389 Directory Server was vulnerable to a flaw in which the default ACI (Access Control Instructions) could be read by an anonymous user. This could lead to leakage of sensitive information.

CVE-2016-4992 389-ds-base: Information disclosure via repeated use of LDAP ADD operation

An information disclosure flaw was found in 389 Directory Server. A user with no access to objects in certain LDAP sub-tree could send LDAP ADD operations with a specific object name. The error message returned to the user was different based on whether the target object existed or not.

The following packages have been upgraded to a newer upstream version:
389 -ds-base (1.3.5.10).

Security Fix(es) :

  - It was found that 389 Directory Server was vulnerable to     a flaw in which the default ACI (Access Control     Instructions) could be read by an anonymous user. This     could lead to leakage of sensitive information.
    (CVE-2016-5416)

  - An information disclosure flaw was found in 389     Directory Server. A user with no access to objects in     certain LDAP sub-tree could send LDAP ADD operations     with a specific object name. The error message returned     to the user was different based on whether the target     object existed or not. (CVE-2016-4992)

  - It was found that 389 Directory Server was vulnerable to     a remote password disclosure via timing attack. A remote     attacker could possibly use this flaw to retrieve     directory server password after many tries.
    (CVE-2016-5405)

    (CVE-2016-5405)

Bug Fix(es) :

  - Previously, a bug in the changelog iterator buffer     caused it to point to an incorrect position when     reloading the buffer. This caused replication to skip     parts of the changelog, and consequently some changes     were not replicated. This bug has been fixed, and     replication data loss due to an incorrectly reloaded     changelog buffer no longer occurs.

  - Previously, if internal modifications were generated on     a consumer (for example by the Account Policy plug-in)     and additional changes to the same attributes were     received from replication, a bug caused Directory Server     to accumulate state information on the consumer. The bug     has been fixed by making sure that replace operations     are only applied if they are newer than existing     attribute deletion change sequence numbers (CSNs), and     state information no longer accumulates in this     situation.

Enhancement(s) :

  - In a multi-master replication environment where multiple     masters receive updates at the same time, it was     previously possible for a single master to obtain     exclusive access to a replica and hold it for a very     long time due to problems such as a slow network     connection. During this time, other masters were blocked     from accessing the same replica, which considerably     slowed down the replication process. This update adds a     new configuration attribute,     'nsds5ReplicaReleaseTimeout', which can be used to     specify a timeout in seconds. After the specified     timeout period passes, the master releases the replica,     allowing other masters to access it and send their     updates.
