Teamware Office LDAP Buffer Overflow Vulnerabilities

The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is designed to be a lightweight access protocol for directory services supporting X.500 models. It offers a means of searching, fetching and manipulating directory content.

Several boundary condition errors have been found to exist in the LDAP implementation used in the LDAP server packaged with the Teamware Office Suite. The problems were discovered using the PROTOS project's LDAPv3 test suite. Several test cases provided by the test suite failed, indicating the prescence of buffer overflow vulnerabilities.

The problems may enable a remote attacker to cause affected servers to crash or to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the server. Because the server typically runs with system privileges, this may lead to full system compromise.

Further technical details are not available at this time.
