VUL-0: CVE-2025-14905: 389-ds: heap buffer overflow due to improper size calculation in `schema_attr_enum_callback` can lead to DoS and RCE
Last modified: 2026-07-16 05:20:04 UTC
A flaw was found in the 389-ds-base server. A heap buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the `schema_attr_enum_callback` function within the `schema.c` file. This occurs because the code incorrectly calculates the buffer size by summing alias string lengths without accounting for additional formatting characters. When a large number of aliases are processed, this oversight can lead to a heap overflow, potentially allowing a remote attacker to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) or achieve Remote Code Execution (RCE).
