NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream 389-ds-base package and not the 389-ds-base package as distributed by Echo. See How to fix? for Echo:latest relevant fixed versions and status.

A flaw was found in RHDS 11 and RHDS 12. While browsing entries LDAP tries to decode the userPassword attribute instead of the userCertificate attribute which could lead into sensitive information leaked. An attacker with a local account where the cockpit-389-ds is running can list the processes and display the hashed passwords. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality.
