How to fix?

There is no fixed version for RHEL:7 389-ds-base.

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 RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 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.
