Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2026-15041

low Nessus Plugin ID 325686

Synopsis

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed with a vulnerability that the vendor indicates will not be patched.

Description

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

 - A flaw was found in 389 Directory Server. The PBKDF2-SHA256 password verification function uses standard memcmp() for comparing password hashes instead of a constant-time comparison function. A remote attacker could potentially use timing measurements of LDAP bind attempts to infer partial hash information, though practical exploitation is extremely difficult due to PBKDF2 computational overhead. (CVE-2026-15041)

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

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
