CWE-20 Open this link in a new tab

How to fix?

Upgrade Centos:7 openldap to version 0:2.4.39-7.el7_1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream openldap package and not the openldap package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

The ber_get_next function in libraries/liblber/io.c in OpenLDAP 2.4.42 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (reachable assertion and application crash) via crafted BER data, as demonstrated by an attack against slapd.
