A vulnerability has been reported in IBM Tivoli Directory Server, which can be exploited by malicious users to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).

 

The vulnerability is caused due to a double-free error when handling certain requests and can be exploited by adding e.g. a certain existing entry via ldapadd.

 

Successful exploitation allows to crash the server and potentially to execute arbitrary code, but requires ldap administrator privileges.
