Vulnerability in 389-ds-base (CVE-2026-9064)
Summary
Vulnerability in 389-ds-base (CVE-2026-9064). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
A flaw was found in 389-ds-base. The get_ldapmessage_controls_ext() function in the LDAP server does not enforce an upper bound on the number of controls per LDAP message. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can send a specially crafted LDAP request containing hundreds of thousands of minimal controls within the default maximum BER message size (2 MB), causing excessive CPU consumption and heap allocation on the server. Under concurrent exploitation, this leads to significant latency degradation, worker thread starvation, or out-of-memory termination, resulting in a denial of service.
