Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing one or more security updates for redhat-ds:11.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2024:4209 advisory.

Red Hat Directory Server is an LDAPv3-compliant directory server. The suite of packages includes the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) server, as well as command-line utilities and Web UI packages for server administration.

Security Fix(s):
* 389-ds-base: Potential denial of service via specially crafted kerberos AS-REQ request (CVE-2024-3657) (BZ#2274401)

* 389-ds-base: Authenticated user can cause a server failure while modifying `userPassword` using malformed input (CVE-2024-2199) (BZ#2267976)

For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.

Bug fix(es):

* Directory Server now flushes the entry cache less frequently (BZ#2268177)

* The `ns-slapd` binary is now linked with the thread-safe `libldap_r` library, no longer causing segmentation fault (BZ#2264534)

Users of Red Hat Directory Server 11 are advised to install these updated packages.
