CVE-2007-5708: slapo-pcache (overlays/pcache.c) in slapd in OpenLDAP before 2.3.39, when running as a proxy-caching server...

slapo-pcache (overlays/pcache.c) in slapd in OpenLDAP before 2.3.39, when running as a proxy-caching server, allocates memory using a malloc variant instead of calloc, which prevents an array from being initialized properly and might allow attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation fault) via unknown vectors that prevent the array from being null terminated.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This flaw can crash an OpenLDAP directory server only when slapd is used as a proxy-caching server with slapo-pcache. The issue is memory initialization in the cache overlay. The sources describe denial of service, not data theft or code execution. No active exploitation is indicated in the supplied bundle. Exposure appears limited to OpenLDAP deployments before 2.3.39 that enable slapo-pcache and run slapd as a proxy-caching server. Standard LDAP servers without this overlay or mode are not shown as affected in the supplied sources. Prioritize if LDAP proxy caching supports authentication, identity lookup, or business-critical directory services. Otherwise, handle through legacy system remediation and normal patch governance. Mitigation focus: Upgrade OpenLDAP to 2.3.39 or a vendor-fixed package.; Check Debian, Gentoo, SUSE, Mandriva, Ubuntu, or Fedora advisories for backported fixes.; Disable slapo-pcache if proxy caching is unnecessary..
