Title: Novell eDirectory NULL Base DN Denial Of Service Vulnerability
Severity: MODERATE
Description:
Novell eDirectory is a directory service that is used to centrally manage computer resources on a network.
eDirectory is prone to a denial-of-service vulnerability when the NDSD process handles specially crafted search requests containing a NULL base DN.
A remote attacker can exploit this issue by crafting a request and sending it to the affected computer via TCP port 389.
The attacker can exploit this issue to cause the server to become unresponsive, denying service to legitimate users.
Versions prior to Novell eDirectory 8.8.5 ftf1 and eDirectory 8.7.3.10 ftf2 are vulnerable.
