Description Francisco Alonso 2015-03-24 12:48:05 UTC
It was discovered that the IPA extdom Directory Server plug-in did not correctly perform memory reallocation when handling user account information. A request for a list of groups for a user that belongs to a large number of groups would cause a Directory Server to crash.

Acknowledgements:

This issue was discovered by Sumit Bose of Red Hat.
