Red Hat has released security updates that address both vulnerabilities. Users of affected Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 variants should apply the updates as described in the Red Hat advisory RHSA-2024:5192. No additional mitigation steps are required beyond applying the official patches.

Description

Two moderate severity vulnerabilities have been identified in the 389 Directory Server (389-ds-base) used in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9. The first vulnerability (CVE-2024-5953) involves a malformed userPassword hash that may cause a denial of service (DoS). The second vulnerability (CVE-2024-6237) allows an unauthenticated user to trigger a DoS by sending a specific extended search request. Red Hat has released security updates to address these issues across multiple RHEL 9 variants and architectures.
