Description

IBM Tivoli Directory Server (TDS) 6.0.0.x before 6.0.0.8-TIV-ITDS-IF0007 does not properly handle invalid buffer references in LDAP BER requests, which might allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) via vectors involving a buffer that has a memory address near the maximum possible address.

• CWE-119Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory BufferThe product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data.
