Check this codebase for CVE-2025-3416 and fix it if it is affected.
What it is: CVE-2025-3416 is a low-severity use after free vulnerability in Red Hat Directory Server 11, published on 8 Apr 2025. 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-2025-3416 in the wild and no public exploit code.
Affected product: Red Hat Directory Server 11. 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.

What is CVE-2025-3416?
CVE-2025-3416 is a low-severity use after free vulnerability in Red Hat Directory Server 11, published on 8 Apr 2025. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.
Official description
A flaw was found in OpenSSL's handling of the properties argument in certain functions. This vulnerability can allow use-after-free exploitation, which may result in undefined behavior or incorrect property parsing, leading to OpenSSL treating the input as an empty string.
