A heap buffer overflow flaw was found in 389 Directory Server. When audit logging is enabled, the create_masked_entry_string() function in auditlog.c copies a fixed-length password mask into a precisely-sized heap buffer without checking available space. If a short cleartext password is logged (requiring non-default CLEAR password storage or a compromised replication peer), the copy overflows the buffer, corrupting heap memory and audit log output.

The remote openSUSE 16 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the openSUSE-SU-2026:21691-1 advisory.

    Update to version 3.0.6~git382.7a51ea5f5.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - A heap buffer overflow flaw was found in 389 Directory Server. When audit logging is enabled, the     create_masked_entry_string() function in auditlog.c copies a fixed-length password mask into a precisely-     sized heap buffer without checking available space. If a short cleartext password is logged (requiring     non-default CLEAR password storage or a compromised replication peer), the copy overflows the buffer,     corrupting heap memory and audit log output. (CVE-2026-11792)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.
