Vendor Workaround
As an interim mitigation, administrators can limit the number of concurrent connections permitted per source IP address in front of the LDAP listener (for example via a firewall, load balancer, or a tool such as fail2ban), since exploitation requires several simultaneous connections from the same attacker. Upgrading to a fixed package remains the only complete resolution.

| Description | A flaw was found in 389-ds-base. An unauthenticated remote attacker can send a complete LDAP operation followed by the first bytes of an incomplete LDAPMessage on the same connection, causing the server to hand that connection to a second worker thread before the first worker's result is flushed. The second worker blocks until nsslapd-ioblocktimeout while holding the connection mutex, preventing delivery of the completed operation's result. Repeating this across a small number of connections proportional to the configured worker-thread pool size exhausts the entire pool under default configuration, denying service to all clients (anonymous and authenticated, plaintext and TLS) for as long as the attacker maintains the connections. | |
