A flaw has been found in 389-ds-base versions 1.4.x.x before 1.4.1.3. When executed in verbose mode, the dscreate and dsconf commands may display sensitive information, such as the Directory Manager password. An attacker, able to see the screen or record the terminal standard error output, could use this flaw to gain sensitive information.

The remote Oracle Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2019-3401 advisory.

  - In 389-ds-base up to version 1.4.1.2, requests are handled by workers threads. Each sockets will be waited     by the worker for at most 'ioblocktimeout' seconds. However this timeout applies only for un-encrypted     requests. Connections using SSL/TLS are not taking this timeout into account during reads, and may hang     longer.An unauthenticated attacker could repeatedly create hanging LDAP requests to hang all the workers,     resulting in a Denial of Service. (CVE-2019-3883)

  - A flaw was found in the 'deref' plugin of 389-ds-base where it could use the 'search' permission to     display attribute values. In some configurations, this could allow an authenticated attacker to view     private attributes, such as password hashes. (CVE-2019-14824)

  - 389-ds-base before versions 1.3.8.5, 1.4.0.12 is vulnerable to a Cleartext Storage of Sensitive     Information. By default, when the Replica and/or retroChangeLog plugins are enabled, 389-ds-base stores     passwords in plaintext format in their respective changelog files. An attacker with sufficiently high     privileges, such as root or Directory Manager, can query these files in order to retrieve plaintext     passwords. (CVE-2018-10871)

    Package        : 389-ds-base     Version        : 1.4.0.21-1+deb10u1     CVE ID         : CVE-2019-3883 CVE-2019-10224 CVE-2019-14824 CVE-2021-3514                      CVE-2021-3652 CVE-2021-4091 CVE-2022-0918 CVE-2022-0996                      CVE-2022-2850

    Multiple security issues were discovered in 389-ds-base: an open source LDAP     server for Linux.

    CVE-2019-3883

        SSL/TLS requests do not enforce ioblocktimeout limit, leading to DoS         vulnerability by hanging all workers with hanging LDAP requests.

    CVE-2019-10224

        The vulnerability may disclose sensitive information, such as the Directory         Manager password, when the dscreate and dsconf commands are executed in         verbose mode. An attacker who can view the screen or capture the terminal         standard error output can exploit thisvulnerability to obtain confidential information.

    CVE-2019-14824

        The 'deref' plugin of 389-ds-base has a vulnerability that enables it to         disclose attribute values using the 'search' permission. In certain setups,         an authenticated attacker can exploit this flaw to access confidential         attributes, including password hashes.

    CVE-2021-3514

        If a sync_repl client is used, an authenticated attacker can trigger a crash         by exploiting a specially crafted query that leads to a NULL pointer         dereference.

    CVE-2021-3652

        Importing an asterisk as password hashes enables successful authentication         with any password, allowing attackers to access accounts with disabled         passwords.

    CVE-2021-4091

        A double free was found in the way 389-ds-base handles virtual attributes         context in persistent searches. An attacker could send a series of search         requests, forcing the server to behave unexpectedly, and crash.

    CVE-2022-0918

        An unauthenticated attacker with network access to the LDAP port can cause a         denial of service. The denial of service is triggered by a single message         sent over a TCP connection, no bind or other authentication is required. The         message triggers a segmentation fault that results in slapd crashing.

    CVE-2022-0996

        Expired password was still allowed to access the database. A user whose         password was expired was still allowed to access the database as if the         password was not expired.  Once a password is expired, and grace logins         have been used up, the account is basically supposed to be locked out and         should not be allowed to perform any privileged action.

    CVE-2022-2850

        The vulnerability in content synchronization plugin enables an authenticated attacker to trigger a     denial of service via a crafted query through a NULL         pointer dereference.

    For Debian 10 buster, these problems have been fixed in version     1.4.0.21-1+deb10u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your 389-ds-base packages.

The remote CentOS Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the CESA-2019:3401 advisory.

  - 389-ds-base: replication and the Retro Changelog plugin store plaintext password by default     (CVE-2018-10871)

  - 389-ds-base: using dscreate in verbose mode results in information disclosure (CVE-2019-10224)

  - 389-ds-base: Read permission check bypass via the deref plugin (CVE-2019-14824)

  - 389-ds-base: DoS via hanging secured connections (CVE-2019-3883)

The version of 389-ds-base installed on the remote host is prior to 1.3.9.1-12.65. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS-2020-1334 advisory.

    389-ds-base before versions 1.3.8.5, 1.4.0.12 is vulnerable to a Cleartext Storage of Sensitive     Information. By default, when the Replica and/or retroChangeLog plugins are enabled, 389-ds-base stores     passwords in plaintext format in their respective changelog files. An attacker with sufficiently high     privileges, such as root or Directory Manager, can query these files in order to retrieve plaintext     passwords.(CVE-2018-10871)

An     attacker, able to see the screen or record the terminal standard error output, could use this flaw to gain     sensitive information.(CVE-2019-10224)

    It was found that encrypted connections did not honor the 'ioblocktimeout' parameter to end blocking     requests. As a result, an unauthenticated attacker could repeatedly start a sufficient number of encrypted     connections to block all workers, resulting in a denial of service.(CVE-2019-3883)
