embargoed via distros

CRD: 2018-01-22

Hi,

Here is a notification about two vulnerabilities in the 389-ds-base
package (389 Directory Server).

NOTE: We are planning to make these flaws public on 22-January-2018. If
this date changes, we will inform the list.

Patches to fix both these flaws are attached to this email.

I am not subscribed to this list. So please CC me if you have some
questions or comments for me.


CVE-2017-15134
--------------

Remote DoS via search filters in slapi_filter_sprintf in slapd/util.c

A stack buffer overflow flaw was found in the way 389-ds-base handled
certain LDAP search filters. A remote, unauthenticated attacker could
potentially use this flaw to make ns-slapd crash via a specially crafted
LDAP request, thus resulting in denial of service.

CVSSv3: 7.5/CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H

1. The crash happens at the following line in 389-ds-base-1.3.6.1-21.el7_4.x86_64,

filter_stuff_func (..., slen=32768) at ldap/servers/slapd/util.c:282,
which is memcpy(ctx->attr, val, slen).

The ctx->attr storage resides on the caller's stack frame.

char attr[ATTRSIZE]; // ATTRSIZE => 256

2. Both filter_stuff_func and slapi_filter_sprintf functions are
protected by SSP ON RHEL 7.4.

Overall, this seems like a stack overflow bug which leads to DoS (server
crash).


CVE-2017-15135
--------------

Authentication bypass due to lack of size check in slapi_ct_memcmp
function in ch_malloc.c

It was found that 389-ds-base did not always handle internal hash
comparison operations correctly during the authentication process. A
remote, unauthenticated attacker could potentially use this flaw to
bypass the authentication process under very rare and specific
circumstances.

This flaw was introduced by the CVE-2016-5405 fix.

CVSSv3: 4.6/CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L
