Red Hat Directory Server is an LDAPv3-compliant directory server.

An attacker with access to the replication monitor web page could execute
arbitrary shell commands with the "root" user privileges used by
Administration Server. (CVE-2008-0892)

security issue for previously created instances of the Administration
Server. After installation, the following steps must be manually performed
to resolve the security issue:
# cd /opt/redhat-ds
# ./setup/setup -r
