CVE-2013-1897: n/a vulnerability

The do_search function in ldap/servers/slapd/search.c in 389 Directory Server 1.2.x before 1.2.11.20 and 1.3.x before 1.3.0.5 does not properly restrict access to entries when the nsslapd-allow-anonymous-access configuration is set to rootdse and the BASE search scope is used, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information outside of the rootDSE via a crafted LDAP search.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This flaw can let an unauthenticated remote user read LDAP information that should not be exposed when a specific anonymous-access setting is enabled. It affects older 389 Directory Server releases. The business concern is unintended directory data disclosure, not system takeover based on the provided sources. Exposure is likely limited to organizations running affected 389 Directory Server versions with anonymous access configured as rootdse. Internet or partner-accessible LDAP services increase risk. The provided sources do not identify broader affected products beyond 389 Directory Server. Prioritize remediation for externally reachable or identity-critical directory servers. The issue is older and not KEV-listed, but directory data exposure can aid reconnaissance and downstream attacks. Mitigation focus: Upgrade 389 Directory Server to 1.2.11.20, 1.3.0.5, or later vendor-supported packages.; Apply relevant Red Hat or Fedora advisories where those distributions are in use.; Review nsslapd-allow-anonymous-access and ensure anonymous LDAP exposure matches policy..
