{"id":"UBUNTU-CVE-2018-14624","details":"A vulnerability was discovered in 389-ds-base through versions 1.3.7.10, 1.3.8.8 and 1.4.0.16. The lock controlling the error log was not correctly used when re-opening the log file in log__error_emergency(). An attacker could send a flood of modifications to a very large DN, which would cause slapd to crash.","modified":"2025-09-08T16:44:59Z","published":"2018-09-06T14:29:00Z","upstream":["CVE-2018-14624"],"references":[{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2018-14624"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2018-14624"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"389-ds-base","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:16.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/389-ds-base@1.3.4.9-1ubuntu0.1~esm1?arch=source&distro=esm-apps/xenial"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1.3.3.12-1build1","1.3.3.13-1","1.3.4.5-2","1.3.4.8-1","1.3.4.8-3","1.3.4.8-3ubuntu1","1.3.4.8-4","1.3.4.9-1","1.3.4.9-1ubuntu0.1~esm1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"1.3.4.9-1ubuntu0.1~esm1","binary_name":"389-ds"},{"binary_version":"1.3.4.9-1ubuntu0.1~esm1","binary_name":"389-ds-base"},{"binary_version":"1.3.4.9-1ubuntu0.1~esm1","binary_name":"389-ds-base-dev"},{"binary_version":"1.3.4.9-1ubuntu0.1~esm1","binary_name":"389-ds-base-libs"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2018/UBUNTU-CVE-2018-14624.json"}},{"package":{"name":"389-ds-base","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:18.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/389-ds-base@1.3.7.10-1ubuntu1+esm1?arch=source&distro=esm-apps/bionic"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1.3.7.5-1","1.3.7.5-1build1","1.3.7.5-1build2","1.3.7.9-1","1.3.7.10-1","1.3.7.10-1ubuntu1","1.3.7.10-1ubuntu1+esm1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"1.3.7.10-1ubuntu1+esm1","binary_name":"389-ds"},{"binary_version":"1.3.7.10-1ubuntu1+esm1","binary_name":"389-ds-base"},{"binary_version":"1.3.7.10-1ubuntu1+esm1","binary_name":"389-ds-base-dev"},{"binary_version":"1.3.7.10-1ubuntu1+esm1","binary_name":"389-ds-base-libs"},{"binary_version":"1.3.7.10-1ubuntu1+esm1","binary_name":"python3-dirsrvtests"},{"binary_version":"1.3.7.10-1ubuntu1+esm1","binary_name":"python3-lib389"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2018/UBUNTU-CVE-2018-14624.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.3","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H"},{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H"},{"type":"Ubuntu","score":"medium"}]}
