high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 421039

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - OpenDJ is an LDAPv3 compliant directory service. OpenDJ prior to 4.9.3 contains a denial-of-service (DoS)
 vulnerability that causes the server to become unresponsive to all LDAP requests without crashing or
 restarting. This issue occurs when an alias loop exists in the LDAP database. If an ldapsearch request is
 executed with alias dereferencing set to "always" on this alias entry, the server stops responding to all
 future requests. Fortunately, the server can be restarted without data corruption. This vulnerability is
 fixed in 4.9.3. (CVE-2025-27497)
