Red Hat Directory Server Accept Language HTTP Headers Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Red Hat Directory Server Accept Language HTTP Headers Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Red Hat Directory Server is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data.

Attackers could exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code in the context of the affected application. Failed exploit attempts will likely cause denial-of-service conditions.

NOTE: The Administration Server of Directory Server usually runs with superuser privileges.

The following are affected:

- Red Hat Directory Server 7.1
- Versions prior to 'adminutil' 1.1.7
