Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions IBM Tivoli Directory Server (TDS) versions prior to 5.2.0.5-TIV-ITDS-LA0007

Description The issue arises from improper handling of simultaneous password changes, which can lead to a denial of service due to a DB2 daemon deadlock. This occurs when password changes trigger updates to a DB2 password-history table.

Recommendations For versions prior to 5.2.0.5-TIV-ITDS-LA0007, update to version 5.2.0.5-TIV-ITDS-LA0007 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting simultaneous password changes to minimize the risk of triggering the DB2 daemon deadlock.
