CommuniGate Pro Server < 5.0.8 LDAP Module Field Handling Remote DoS

medium Nessus Plugin ID 20889

Language:

Synopsis

The remote application is prone to denial of service attacks.

Description

The remote host appears to be running CommuniGate Pro, a commercial email and groupware application.

The version of CommuniGate Pro installed on the remote host includes an LDAP server that fails to handle requests with Distinguished Names (DNs) that contain too many elements. A user can leverage this issue to crash not just the LDAP server, but also the entire application on the remote host.

Solution

Upgrade to CommuniGate Pro version 5.0.8 or later.
