Description Samuele Negrini 2026-06-30 10:24:55 UTC
Disclaimer: Community trackers are created by Red Hat Product Security team on a best effort basis. Package maintainers are required to ascertain if the flaw indeed affects their package, before starting the update process.

Two heap buffer overflow vulnerabilities exist in 389 Directory Server schema serialization code. Both are incomplete-fix variants of CVE-2025-14905: the oc_superior (SUP) field length is omitted from buffer size calculations in read_schema_dse() and schema_oc_to_string(), but the field is still written via strcat().

Variant 1 (read_schema_dse, schema.c:1765): triggered during schema DSE reads; overflow at SUP >= ~248 bytes.
Variant 2 (schema_oc_to_string, schema.c:5151): triggered during schema replication comparison; overflow at SUP >= ~62 bytes.

An attacker with Directory Manager privileges can crash the server. In replication topologies, a compromised supplier can push malicious schema to consumers. RCE is not feasible on x86_64 due to ASCII-only overflow content.

Parent CVE: CVE-2025-14905 (fixed schema_attr_enum_callback only). Advisory: 389-ds-campaign-2026-04/001-002-Schema-Heap-Overflow/advisory.md. Source: PSIRTSUPT-7600 (Ian Murphy, Red Hat Product Security).
