Description Vincent Danen 2010-06-16 13:59:32 EDT

A vulnerability in Red Hat Directory Server and the 389 Directory Server was discovered.  The code that parses the GER request (_ger_parse_control()) can dereference a NULL pointer.  An unauthenticated user able to communicate with the Directory Server could use a crafted search query that would cause the Directory Server to crash.

This issue has been assigned the name CVE-2010-2222.

Lifting embargo.

This bug was only introduced recently in the following commit:
http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=389/ds.git;a=commitdiff;h=78c50664d6#patch10

Therefore, this issue did not affect any released version of Red Hat Directory Server.
