It was found that 389-ds-base since 1.3.6.1 up to and including 1.4.0.3 did not always handle internal hash comparison operations correctly during the authentication process. A remote, unauthenticated attacker could potentially use this flaw to bypass the authentication process under very rare and specific circumstances.

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 4.05, has 389-ds-base packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - An out-of-bounds memory read flaw was found in the way     389-ds-base handled certain LDAP search filters. A     remote, unauthenticated attacker could potentially use     this flaw to make ns-slapd crash via a specially crafted     LDAP request, thus resulting in denial of service.
    (CVE-2018-1054)

  - It was found that 389-ds-base did not always handle     internal hash comparison operations correctly during the     authentication process. A remote, unauthenticated     attacker could potentially use this flaw to bypass the     authentication process under very rare and specific     circumstances. (CVE-2017-15135)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Bug Fix(es) :

* Previously, if an administrator configured an index for an attribute with a specific matching rule in the 'nsMatchingRule' parameter, Directory Server did not use the retrieved indexer. As a consequence, Directory Server did not index the values of this attribute with the specified matching rules, and searches with extended filters were unindexed. With this update, Directory Server uses the retrieved indexer that processes the specified matching rule. As a result, searches using extended filters with a specified matching rule are now indexed.
