CVE-2008-7290

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions IBM Tivoli Directory Server versions prior to 5.2.0.5-TIV-ITDS-LA0007

Description The issue is related to a memory leak in the ldap explode rdn API function. This allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service by consuming memory through repeated function calls.

Recommendations For versions prior to 5.2.0.5-TIV-ITDS-LA0007, update to version 5.2.0.5-TIV-ITDS-LA0007 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the ldap explode rdn function to minimize the risk of exploitation.
