Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-12-18 18:08:15 UTC 
A vulnerability was found in the ds-389-base server, specifically in the schema.c file which was then verified as exploitable in the running server. There is a heap buffer overflow that can be exploited to execute a DoS and potential RCE. The vulnerability is possible through the function schema_attr_enum_callback, the code calculates size by summing the lengths of alias strings but fails to account for the formatting characters added during printing. It relies on a static "magic number" of 256 to absorb this overhead. When the number of aliases is large enough, the cumulative overhead of 3 bytes per alias exceeds the 256-byte margin, leading to a heap overflow.
