CVE-2011-1206: Stack-based buffer overflow in the server process in ibmslapd.exe in IBM Tivoli Directory Server (TDS) 5.2...

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2011-1206 is a remote code execution risk in IBM Tivoli Directory Server. A malformed LDAP request can overflow memory in the directory server process, potentially letting an attacker run code on the server. There is no provided evidence of active exploitation, but exposed directory services should be treated seriously. Exposure is most likely where affected IBM Tivoli Directory Server versions accept LDAP traffic from untrusted or broad internal networks. The listed fixed levels are 5.2.0.5-TIV-ITDS-IF0010, 6.0.0.67, 6.1.0.40, 6.2.0.16, and 6.3.0.3. Prioritize remediation for any reachable IBM Tivoli Directory Server instance because the stated impact is remote arbitrary code execution. Urgency is lower than confirmed exploited KEV items, but directory infrastructure is sensitive and often central to authentication and identity operations. Mitigation focus: Inventory IBM Tivoli Directory Server deployments and versions.; Apply the IBM interim fix or later level for the deployed branch.; Restrict LDAP access to trusted networks while patching is planned..
