<A NAME="overview">
<H2>Overview</H2>
<P>Several implementations of the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol
(LDAP) protocol contain vulnerabilities that may allow denial-of-service
attacks, unauthorized privileged access, or both. If your site uses any
of the products listed in this advisory, the CERT/CC encourages you to
follow the advice provided in the <A HREF="#solution">Solution</A> section
below.
<A NAME="description">
<H2>I. Description</H2>
<A NAME="ldap">
<P>The LDAP protocol provides access to directories that support the <A
HREF="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2116.txt">X.500</A> directory semantics
without requiring the additional resources of X.500. A directory is a
collection of information such as names, addresses, access control lists,
and cryptographic certificates. Because LDAP servers are widely used in
maintaining corporate contact information and providing authentication
services, any threats to their integrity or stability can jeopardize the
security of an organization.
<P>To test the security of protocols like LDAP, the <A
HREF="http://www.ee.oulu.fi/research/ouspg/protos/">PROTOS</A> project
presents a server with a wide variety of sample packets containing
unexpected values or illegally formatted data. This approach may reveal
vulnerabilities that would not manifest themselves under normal
conditions. As a member of the PROTOS project consortium, the Oulu
University Secure Programming Group (OUSPG) co-developed and subsequently
used the <A
HREF="http://www.ee.oulu.fi/research/ouspg/protos/testing/c06/ldapv3/">
PROTOS LDAPv3 test suite</A> to study several implementations of the LDAP
protocol.
<A NAME="suite">
<P>The PROTOS LDAPv3 test suite is divided into two main sections: the
"Encoding" section, which tests an LDAP server's response to packets that
violate the <A HREF="#asn1-ber">Basic Encoding Rules</A> (BER), and the
"Application" section, which tests an LDAP server's response to packets
that trigger LDAP-specific application anomalies. Each section is further
divided into "groups" that collectively exercise a particular encoding or
application feature. Finally, each group contains one or more "test
cases," which represent the network packets that are used to test
individual exceptional conditions.
<P>By applying the PROTOS LDAPv3 test suite to a variety of popular
LDAP-enabled products, the OUSPG revealed the following vulnerabilities:
<B>
<P><A HREF="http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/276944">VU#276944</A> - iPlanet
Directory Server contains multiple vulnerabilities in LDAP handling code
</B>
<P>The iPlanet Directory Server contains multiple vulnerabilities in the
code that processes LDAP requests.
<P>In the encoding section of the test suite, this product had an
indeterminate number of failures in the group that tests invalid BER
length of length fields.
<P>In the application section of the test suite, this product failed four
groups and had inconclusive results for an additional five groups. The
four failed groups indicate the presence of buffer overflow
vulnerabilities. For the inconclusive groups, the product exhibited
suspicious behavior while testing for format string vulnerabilities.
<B>
<P><A HREF="http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/505564">VU#505564</A> - IBM
SecureWay Directory is vulnerable to denial-of-service attacks via LDAP
handling code
</B>
<P>The IBM SecureWay Directory server contains one or more buffer overflow
vulnerabilities in the code that processes LDAP requests. These
vulnerabilities were discovered independently by IBM using the PROTOS
LDAPv3 test suite.
<B>
<P><A HREF="http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/583184">VU#583184</A> - Lotus
Domino R5 Server Family contains multiple vulnerabilities in LDAP handling
code
</B>
<P>The Lotus Domino R5 Server Family (including the Enterprise,
Application, and Mail servers) contains multiple vulnerabilities in the
code that processes LDAP requests.
<P>In the encoding section of the test suite, this product failed 1 of 77
groups. The failed group tests a server's response to miscellaneous
packets with semi-valid BER encodings.
<P>In the application section of the test suite, this product failed 23 of
77 groups. These results suggest that both buffer overflow and format
string vulnerabilities are likely to be present in a variety of
application components.
<B>
<P><A HREF="http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/657547">VU#657547</A> -
Critical Path directory products contain multiple vulnerabilities in LDAP
handling code
</B>
<P>The InJoin Directory Server and LiveContent Directory both contain
multiple vulnerabilities in the code that processes LDAP requests. These
vulnerabilities were discovered independently by Critical Path using the
PROTOS LDAPv3 test suite.
<P>The tests conducted by Critical Path demonstrated failures in both the
encoding and application sections of the test suite.
<B>
<P><A HREF="http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/688960">VU#688960</A> -
Teamware Office contains multiple vulnerabilities in LDAP handling code
</B>
<P>The Teamware Office suite is packaged with a combination X.500/LDAP
server that provides directory services. Multiple versions of the Office
product contain vulnerabilities that cause the LDAP server to crash in
response to traffic sent by the PROTOS LDAPv3 test suite.
<P>In the encoding section of the test suite, this product failed 9 of 16
groups involving invalid encodings for several BER object types.
<P>In the application section of the test suite, this product failed 4 of
32 groups. The remaining 45 groups were not exercised during the test
runs. The four failed groups indicate the presence of buffer overflow
vulnerabilities.
<B>
<P><A HREF="http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/717380">VU#717380</A> -
Potential vulnerabilities in Qualcomm Eudora WorldMail Server LDAP
handling code
</B>
<P>While investigating the vulnerabilities reported by OUSPG, it was
brought to our attention that the Eudora WorldMail Server may contain
vulnerabilities that can be triggered via the PROTOS test suite. The
CERT/CC has reported this possibility to Qualcomm and an investigation is
pending.
<B>
<P><A HREF="http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/763400">VU#763400</A> -
Microsoft Exchange LDAP Service is vulnerable to denial-of-service attacks
</B>
<P>The LDAP Service components of Microsoft Exchange 5.5 and Exchange 2000
contain vulnerabilities that cause affected LDAP servers to freeze in
response to malformed LDAP requests generated by the PROTOS test
suite. This only affects the LDAP service; all other Exchange services,
including mail handling, continue normally.
<P>Although these products were not included in OUSPG's initial testing,
subsequent informal testing revealed that the LDAP service of Microsoft
Exchange became unresponsive while processing test cases containing
exceptional BER encodings for the LDAP filter type field.
<B>
<P><A HREF="http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/765256">VU#765256</A> - Network
Associates PGP Keyserver contains multiple vulnerabilities in LDAP
handling code
</B>
<P>The Network Associates PGP Keyserver 7.0 contains multiple
vulnerabilities in the code that processes LDAP requests.
<P>In the encoding section of the test suite, this product failed 12 of 16
groups.
<P>In the application section of the test suite, this product failed 1 of
77 groups. The failed group focused on out-of-bounds integer values for
the messageID parameter. Due to a peculiarity of this test group, this
failure may actually represent an encoding failure.
<B>
<P><A HREF="http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/869184">VU#869184</A> - Oracle
Internet Directory contains multiple vulnerabilities in LDAP handling code
</B>
<P>The Oracle Internet Directory server contains multiple vulnerabilities
in the code used to process LDAP requests.
<P>In the encoding section of the test suite, this product failed an
indeterminate number of test cases in the group that tests a server's
response to invalid encodings of BER OBJECT-IDENTIFIER values.
<P>In the application section of the test suite, this product failed 46 of
77 groups. These results suggest that both buffer overflow and format
string vulnerabilities are likely to be present in a variety of
application components.
<B>
<P><A HREF="http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/935800">VU#935800</A> -
Multiple versions of OpenLDAP are vulnerable to denial-of-service attacks
</B>
<P>There are multiple vulnerabilities in the OpenLDAP implementations of
the LDAP protocol. These vulnerabilities exist in the code that
translates network datagrams into application-specific information.
<P>In the encoding section of the test suite, this product failed the
group that tests the handling of invalid BER length of length fields.
<P>In the application section of the test suite, this product passed all
6685 test cases.

<P>Please note that the test results summarized above should not be
interpreted as a statement of overall software quality. However, the
CERT/CC does believe that these results are useful in describing the
characteristics of these vulnerabilities. For example, an application
that fails multiple groups indicates that problems exist in different
areas of the code, rather than in a specific code segment.
