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. A stack buffer overflow exists in 389 Directory Server's checkPrefix() function (pw.c:440-466). When parsing reversible-encrypted attribute values in the format {SCHEME-<algid>}ciphertext, the algorithm ID is copied into a 256-byte stack buffer via memcpy with no bounds check on (end - delim). An attacker with Directory Manager privileges can crash ns-slapd by storing a crafted nsDS5ReplicaCredentials (or similar reversible-encrypted config attribute) with an oversized algorithm ID. FORTIFY_SOURCE (__memcpy_chk) aborts the process before overflow bytes are written, limiting impact to DoS (SIGABRT) only. Code execution is not possible on production builds. Production crashes confirmed on RHEL 7 (389-ds-base-1.3.11.1-5.el7_9) and Fedora 42 (389-ds-base-3.1.4-6.fc42). RHEL 8 crash confirmed via dse.ldif injection (389-ds-base-1.4.3.39-2.module_el8). Note: cn=config is local configuration and not replicated; triggering requires Directory Manager access on the target server.
