An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-14905 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Red Hat Directory Server 11.5 E4S for RHEL 8. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. 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.\n2. 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.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-14905/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-14905/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-14905","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-14905/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-14905","record":{"aliases":["ALSA-2026:3189","ALSA-2026:3208","ALSA-2026:5513","AZL-78363","CLSA-2026-1772573644","CLSA-2026-1772574256","DEBIAN-CVE-2025-14905","GHSA-q4hc-vp2m-fr47","RHSA-2026:3189","RHSA-2026:3208","RHSA-2026:3504","RHSA-2026:4207","RHSA-2026:4661","RHSA-2026:4720","RHSA-2026:5196","RHSA-2026:5511","RHSA-2026:5512","RHSA-2026:5513","RHSA-2026:5514","RHSA-2026:5568","RHSA-2026:5569","RHSA-2026:5576","RHSA-2026:5597","RHSA-2026:5598","RHSA-2026:6220","RHSA-2026:6268","RLSA-2026:3189","RLSA-2026:3208","RLSA-2026:5513","SUSE-SU-2026:0913-1","SUSE-SU-2026:0914-1","SUSE-SU-2026:0915-1","SUSE-SU-2026:1753-1","SUSE-SU-2026:20927-1","UBUNTU-CVE-2025-14905","openSUSE-SU-2026:10500-1","openSUSE-SU-2026:20415-1"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"389 Directory Server","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Remote attackers can trigger a heap buffer overflow in 389-ds-base to execute arbitrary code or cause denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":7.2,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-122","name":"Heap-based Buffer Overflow"}],"description":"A flaw was found in the 389-ds-base server. A heap buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the `schema_attr_enum_callback` function within the `schema.c` file. This occurs because the code incorrectly calculates the buffer size by summing alias string lengths without accounting for additional formatting characters. When a large number of aliases are processed, this oversight can lead to a heap overflow, potentially allowing a remote attacker to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) or achieve Remote Code Execution
