Security readout for executives and security teams
CVE-2009-5073 is a denial-of-service flaw in IBM Tivoli Directory Server 6.0 before 6.0.0.59. An authenticated remote user could create a nested group relationship that makes the directory daemon hang, disrupting LDAP-backed identity services. Exposure is likely limited to organizations still running IBM Tivoli Directory Server 6.0. Internet exposure is not required; any authenticated LDAP-capable user or application path able to add groups may matter. Treat as a targeted availability risk for legacy identity infrastructure. Prioritize if TDS 6.0 supports authentication, authorization, or business-critical applications; otherwise track as legacy remediation. Mitigation focus: Identify any IBM Tivoli Directory Server 6.0 deployments.; Confirm whether versions are before 6.0.0.59.; Apply IBM's referenced fix level or interim fix if applicable..
