Description

• CVE-2021-3514 (denial of service)

A security issue was found in 389-ds-base before version 2.0.5. When
using a sync_repl client, an authenticated attacker can cause a NULL
pointer dereference using a specially crafted query, causing a crash of
389-ds-base.

• CVE-2021-3652 (authentication bypass)

In 389-ds-base before version 2.0.7, it was found that if an asterisk
is imported as a password hash, either accidentally or maliciously,
then instead of being inactive, any password will successfully match
during authentication. This would allow an attacker to successfully
authenticate as a user who’s password was supposedly disabled.

Impact

An attacker could successfully authenticate as a user who’s password
was supposedly disabled. Furthermore, an authenticated attacker could
crash the 389-ds-base server.
