Sun Java System Directory Server Uninitialized Pointer Remote Memory Corruption Vulnerability

Sun Java System Directory Server is prone to a memory-corruption vulnerability due to a design error in the clean-up code following certain failed queries.

Successful exploits will result in a server crash, denying further service to legitimate users. Attackers may be able to exploit this issue for remote code execution, but this has not been confirmed.

Versions prior to 5.2 Patch5 are affected.
