AI-suggested
Red Hat has released official security updates that fix this vulnerability in 389-ds-base packages for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 and 10. Users should apply these updates as described in Red Hat advisories RHSA-2026:36195 and RHSA-2026:36196. The advisories provide detailed instructions and updated package versions. Applying these patches mitigates the vulnerability. There are no vendor statements indicating that no action is required or that the issue is already mitigated without patching.
Description
An integer overflow flaw was found in the SASL I/O layer of 389 Directory Server (389-ds-base). In sasl_io_start_packet(), adding sizeof(uint32_t) to a crafted SASL packet length prefix of 0xFFFFFFFC causes unsigned wraparound to zero, bypassing the nsslapd-maxsasliosize limit and leading to a heap buffer overflow of up to approximately 2 megabytes of attacker-controlled data. After a successful SASL bind with integrity protection (SSF > 0), a remote attacker can cause a Denial of Service (DoS) or achieve Remote Code Execution (RCE). In FreeIPA and Red Hat Identity Management deployments, any domain user with a valid Kerberos ticket, enrolled host, or service account can trigger this vulnerability over the network. This flaw is independent of CVE-2025-14905, which patched schema.c only and did not modify sasl_io.c.
