Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Sun Java System Directory Server Enterprise Edition versions 6.0 through 6.3

Description The issue is related to the handling of long values and string attributes in LDAP requests when a JDBC data source is used. This can lead to a denial of service, specifically a JDBC backend outage, if crafted LDAP requests are sent.

Recommendations For Sun Java System Directory Server Enterprise Edition versions 6.0 through 6.3, consider restricting access to the JDBC data source to minimize the risk of exploitation until a proper fix is applied. As a temporary workaround, limit the length of values and string attributes in LDAP requests to prevent the denial of service.
