SA Document Body
A Security Vulnerability in the Sun Java System Server, Related to the
Directory Proxy Server, May Lead to a Denial of Service (DoS) Condition
1. Impact
A Security Vulnerability in Sun Java System Directory Proxy Server (a
component of Sun Java System Directory Server Enterprise Edition) may
allow a local or remote unprivileged user to make the Directory Proxy
Server unresponsive to certain requests implying a JDBC backend. This
is a type of Denial of Service (DoS).
2. Contributing Factors
This issue can occur in the following releases for all platforms
(Solaris 9 and 10 on SPARC and x86 Platforms, Linux, Windows, HP-UX
and AIX):
PatchZIP (Compressed Archive) and Native package versions:
* Sun Java System Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.0
* Sun Java System Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.1
* Sun Java System Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.2
* Sun Java System Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.3
without patches 125276-08, 125277-08, 125278-08,
125309-08, 125311-08, 126748-05, 126749-05, 126750-05,
126751-05, 126753-05, 126752-05 (as listed in the
"Resolution" section below).
Notes:
1. Solaris 8 is not affected by this issue.
2. Sun Java System Directory Server Enterprise Edition 5.x is not
affected by this issue.
To determine the version of Directory Proxy Server running on a
system, the following command can be run:
$ dpconf -V
[dpconf]
dpconf : 6.3
3. Symptoms
Specifically crafted LDAP requests can put the Directory Proxy Server
into a state where any further request implying a JDBC backend will
become unresponsive until restart of the Directory Proxy Server.
4. Workaround
There is no workaround for this issue. Please see the Resolution
section below.
5. Resolution
This issue is addressed in the following release for all platforms
(Solaris 9 and 10 on SPARC and x86 Platforms, Linux, Windows, HP-UX
