Memory leak in the ldap_explode_dn function in IBM Tivoli Directory Server (TDS) 6.0 before 6.0.0.61 (aka 6.0.0.8-TIV-ITDS-IF0003) allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via an empty string argument.

Security readout for executives and security teams

IBM Tivoli Directory Server 6.0 before 6.0.0.61 has a memory leak that an authenticated remote user could trigger, potentially exhausting memory and disrupting directory availability. The supplied sources do not provide CVSS scoring, confirmed exploitation, or detailed business impact. Exposure is most relevant where IBM Tivoli Directory Server 6.0 is still deployed and authenticated LDAP access is available to users, applications, or partners. Evidence for other versions is not provided. Treat this as a legacy availability risk, not a confirmed active breach indicator. Prioritize remediation if the directory service supports critical authentication, identity, or application dependencies and remains on IBM TDS 6.0 before the fixed level. Mitigation focus: Identify any IBM Tivoli Directory Server 6.0 deployments.; Upgrade affected 6.0 systems to 6.0.0.61 or the referenced interim fix.; Restrict authenticated LDAP access to trusted users and applications..
