Openldap · Openldap · CVE-2006-4600
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
OpenLDAP versions prior to 2.3.25
OpenLDAP version 2.0.27
Description:
The issue allows remote authenticated users with self-write Access Control List (ACL) privileges to modify arbitrary Distinguished Names (DN). This can lead to a breach of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of protected information. The exploitation of this issue can be carried out remotely.
Recommendations:
For OpenLDAP versions prior to 2.3.25, update to version 2.3.25 or later.
For OpenLDAP version 2.0.27, consider upgrading to a newer version or applying configuration changes to restrict access to sensitive areas until a patch is available.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the `selfwrite` Access Control List (ACL) privileges to minimize the risk of exploitation.
