# CVE-2017-15134: Memory corruption in 389-ds-base > A remote unauthenticated attacker can cause a denial of service in 389-ds-base by sending a specially crafted LDAP search filter that triggers a stack buffer overflow. - **Severity:** High 7.5 (`CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H`) - **Exploited in the wild:** Not known - **Login needed:** Not needed - **Attackable:** Over the internet - **Victim action needed:** Not needed - **Fix available:** Yes - **Published:** 1 Mar 2018 - **Updated:** 16 Sep 2024 - **Also known as:** DEBIAN-CVE-2017-15134, GHSA-7358-vfr4-6m85, MGASA-2018-0122, RHSA-2018:0163, UBUNTU-CVE-2017-15134 ## What is CVE-2017-15134? CVE-2017-15134 is a high-severity memory corruption vulnerability in Redhat Enterprise Linux, published on 1 Mar 2018. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim. ### Official description A stack buffer overflow flaw was found in the way 389-ds-base 1.3.6.x before 1.3.6.13, 1.3.7.x before 1.3.7.9, 1.4.x before 1.4.0.5 handled certain LDAP search filters. A remote, unauthenticated attacker could potentially use this flaw to make ns-slapd crash via a specially crafted LDAP request, thus resulting in denial of service. Weakness: CWE-119 (Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer), CWE-120 (Buffer Copy without Checking Size of Input) ## Which versions are affected by CVE-2017-15134?

What it is: CVE-2017-15134 is a high-severity memory corruption vulnerability in Redhat Enterprise Linux, published on 1 Mar 2018. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim. Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2017-15134 in the wild and no public exploit code. Affected product: Redhat Enterprise Linux. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page. Task: 1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies. 2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it. 3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead. 4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why. 5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
