CVE-2011-3849: Unspecified vulnerability in dxserver before 6279 in CA Directory 8.1 and CA Directory r12 before SP7 CR1 a...

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2011-3849 is an availability issue in CA Directory. A crafted SNMP packet can crash the dxserver daemon, potentially disrupting directory-dependent authentication or lookup services. The sources do not indicate data theft, privilege escalation, or code execution. Exposure is most likely where affected CA Directory deployments have SNMP reachable from untrusted or broad networks. Organizations without CA Directory 8.1 or r12, or with fixed dxserver/SP levels, are not indicated as affected by the provided sources. Prioritize remediation for internet-exposed or broadly reachable SNMP deployments because a crash can disrupt identity or directory-backed business services. Lower urgency applies if CA Directory is absent, fixed, or SNMP is tightly isolated. Mitigation focus: Inventory CA Directory 8.1 and CA Directory r12 deployments.; Verify dxserver is 6279 or later where applicable.; Upgrade CA Directory r12 to SP7 CR1 or later..
