NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python3-lib389 package and not the python3-lib389 package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

A flaw was found in 389-ds-base where the LDBM backend attribute encryption uses a hardcoded static initialization vector for AES-CBC and 3DES-CBC operations, allowing an attacker with privileged filesystem access to detect plaintext equality across encrypted entries by comparing ciphertext blocks.
