"The AlmaLinux 9.6 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare
ALMALINUX9.6:CLSA-2026:1783596522 advisory.

  - A heap buffer overflow flaw was found in the SASL I/O layer of 389 Directory Server (389-ds-base). After a
    successful SASL bind with integrity protection (SSF > 0), an authenticated attacker can send a specially
    crafted oversized LDAP UNBIND packet that is copied into a 512-byte heap receive buffer without a bounds
    check in sasl_io_recv() in sasl_io.c. This allows up to approximately 2 megabytes of attacker-controlled
    data to overflow the buffer, causing a denial of service (server crash). In FreeIPA and Red Hat Identity
    Management deployments, any domain user with a valid Kerberos ticket, any enrolled host, or any service
    account can trigger this vulnerability over the network after authenticating via GSSAPI. The vulnerable
    code path has existed since approximately 2013 (389-ds-base 1.3.2) and was not addressed by the
    CVE-2025-14905 fix, which patched a separate heap overflow in schema.c only. (CVE-2026-11610)

  - An integer overflow flaw was found in the SASL I/O layer of 389 Directory Server (389-ds-base). In
    sasl_io_start_packet(), adding sizeof(uint32_t) to a crafted SASL packet length prefix of 0xFFFFFFFC
    causes unsigned wraparound to zero, bypassing the nsslapd-maxsasliosize limit and leading to a heap buffer
    overflow of up to approximately 2 megabytes of attacker-controlled data. After a successful SASL bind with
    integrity protection (SSF > 0), a remote attacker can cause a Denial of Service (DoS) or achieve Remote
    Code Execution (RCE). In FreeIPA and Red Hat Identity Management deployments, any domain user with a valid
    Kerberos ticket, enrolled host, or service account can trigger this vulnerability over the network. This
    flaw is independent of CVE-2025-14905, which patched schema.c only and did not modify sasl_io.c.
    (CVE-2026-11774)
