LDAP: OpenLDAP Modrdn RDN NULL String Denial of Service

This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in OpenLDAP. It is due to invalid memory access when handling a NULL string in a modrdn request. A remote attacker can exploit this by sending a malicious request through a modrdn request to connect to the target server. Successful exploitation allows cause termination of slapd daemon resulting in a denial-of-service condition.

Extended Description

OpenLDAP is prone to multiple vulnerabilities. Successfully exploiting these issues allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code in the context of the application or cause denial-of-service conditions. OpenLDAP 2.4.22 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
